35 years of prints, paintings, and books

May 9 – 24, 2026

Saltonstall Foundation is honored to present a first-ever solo exhibition of Trumansburg artist Judy Barringer.  j.m. barringer: paper & ink is a celebration of the artist’s work as a printmaker and features more than 60 prints, collages, and handmade books created over the last 35 years.

“We are incredibly proud to be presenting this exhibition, and I can’t wait for the community to join us,” said Lesley Williamson, Saltonstall’s executive director. “The curiosity, ingenuity, and playfulness present in this show is remarkable and a reflection of Judy herself. Works include monotypes, etchings, collographs, mezzotints, gum transfers, and a variety of mixed media pieces. It’s been a privilege to be able to work with her and offer her the encouragement and support that she’s shown to other artists her whole life.”

Judy has a deep association with the Saltonstall Foundation. She knew Saltonstall’s founder, artist Connie Saltonstall, as both were active artists in Tompkins County. Shortly after the Foundation was established in 1995, Judy created its iconic logo – a linoleum print that beautifully captures the house that Connie built and the surrounding rural landscape. Between 2003 and 2007, Judy served as Residency Chef and for the next four years as Residency Director.

Ken served on the Saltonstall Foundation’s board of directors from 2018 – 2024, acting as President for five of those years.
