Judith Weichsel Carr was an important member of the New Mexico arts community from the time she arrived here in the late 1960’s. She was an innovating force in modern tapestry weaving and fiber arts through her teaching, her exhibits, and her work with other artists and private students. While she and her beloved husband, TJ, raised their son, John, she received an M.A. in Counseling and was an integral part in the creation of Jewish Family Service. She traveled extensively and sought out artists in all media everywhere she went. She continued to explore fiber art and create beautiful and surprising work until the very end of her life.
