hello

my name is Judith Henrietta Silvertree AKA Jude AKA Judie AKA Balamusia. this is my website.

i made this site in 2021, my second semester at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where I studied new media arts

i realized shortly after college i did not want to be a working artist, but i still enjoy art-making and coding as a hobby

this is me

being rejected by tinder for my birthmark... those eugenecist bastards

i'm a 24 year old woman and i'm now pursuing my MLIS at the University of Pittsburgh

i'd like to work in archives, museums, and special collections. something adjacent to this new media world i've loved so much

maybe one day i'll get hired by The Internet Archive. that would be a dream!

thanks for reading my about section, i really appreciate it.

if you've got any questions, comments, or just want to chat, you can email me at judesilvertree@gmail.com
