As we count down to the 250th birthday of the United States of America, the Semi-Quincentennial,
I have been inspired by current events to revisit the principals laid out by our founding fathers in
the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and its Amendments.
Always seeking to save the world one painting at at time,
this selection of work in my solo show is meant to inspire hope and action in our beloved country and to
remind us that this country belongs to us.

In the best kind of double entendre,
figurative realist Judy Takács’ weapon of CHOICE is the paintbrush.
Her fourth book chronicles Ohio’s battle for abortion rights before and after
the overturn of Roe v. Wade.
This accessible, chronological, historical account is richly illustrated
with Takács’ Goddess and Pro-Choice paintings, and includes her Op Ed articles and letters to the editor;
all part of the artist’s feminist activism during this pivotal time in Ohio.

So psyched that Cleveland ABC News5 came out to cover the Goddess Project: Innocents Panel Discussion March 20th!
It was an amazing event. I was honored and humbled to share the stage and meet these strong women who've been through more than we can imagine whether they were wrongfully incarcerated or loved someone who was. It is to their huge credit that they continue to work with the Ohio Innocence Project to help others who were wrongfully incarcerated
as they transition back into the world they have been robbed of for so long.
Thank you to Chagrin Arts for hosting the exhibit and the Panel Discussion.
Show continues through June 12th at Chagrin Arts in Downtown Chagrin Falls, Ohio.
