n any Sunday morning
you will find 61-year-old
artist Judy Ostro working
as a volunteer knitting teacher at
the Fleischman Residence in West
Bloomfield. In fact, knitting is one of
the very few things Ostro didn't for-
get how to do after barely surviving
a brain aneurysm 10 years ago.
"I was not a pretty princess:'
explains Ostro. "My husband and
children had to help me relearn
everything, including the basics:'
Talking, walking and even using
the bathroom were some of the
first things Ostro had to be taught
from scratch, but throughout the
ordeal, she never forgot how to knit
or her desire to make art.
Ostro was working as a grade
school art teacher in Hazel Park
when she experienced the medical
emergency that took her own moth-
er's life at the same age. She was not
able to return to her teaching job
because of aphasia, a symptom that
still limits her ability to completely
put together certain ideas in fully
formed sentences.
The artist in her, however, has
no trouble with expression. Ostro
designs and creates a variety of
paintings, sculpture and other art
works in an eclectic mix of media
that fill her home.
She will display her most recent
paintings in a group show at the
Detroit Artists Market this Aug.
7-22. An opening event, free to the
public, is from 6-9 p.m. Friday, at the
gallery, 4719 Woodward Ave., in the
Detroit Cultural Center, three blocks
south of the Detroit Institute of Art,
on the opposite side of the street.
DAM is open from 11 a.m.-6
p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, (313) 832-
8540 or www.detroitartistsmarket.
