Judith Scott Artist
Judith Scott (May 1, 1943 – March 15, 2005) was an internationally renowned American fiber artist. She was a fraternal twin to Joyce Scott, and was born profoundly deaf, mute, and with Down syndrome. She was sent to an Ohio state hospital when she was seven and remained there until her sister became her guardian 35 years later. In 1987 they started at the Creative Growth Art Center in Oakland, California which employs people with developmental disabilities and splits the profits from art sales.
