Biography Judi Suni Hall

Judi had the good luck to be raised in the small farming town of Foremost, Alberta. She spent much of her childhood wandering around the family farm.

She also had the incredible luck to marry early to a wonderful man and stay married. This happened when her trajectory took her to university in the closest city, Lethbridge Alberta. This is where she met her husband Don, another physicist and a provincial hockey star. Majoring in physics, she got her BASc with Great Distinction.

Judi and Don then went to Kingston Ontario where they did their Masters and PhD degrees. Judi pursued theoretical nuclear physics, the kind that models stellar interiors and involved a lot of Racah algebra. She graduated with an 80% average.

In addition to their studies, it was a chance to explore the scenic Thousand Islands, and the big cities of Toronto, Ottawa, and Quebec City.

After that, they moved to Deep River Ontario to work at the Chalk River Nuclear Labs. Life was a mix of nesting (building a house on a treed lot), work, and travel.

Judi caught a severely disabling virus enroute to a NASA conference and shared it with her husband Don. The result was ME/CFIDS. This had them returning to their Alberta roots, and ten years were a write off. She turned to her creative side first as therapy, then for the simple joy of it. Initially she wrote haiga and longer form poetry and was invited into the WHC multimedia group. Over 50 of her haiga were published in journals including Daily Haiga, Haiga on Line, HaikuPix, Sketchbook, and Simply Haiku.

Her writing shifted to novels, starting with a fantasy series that might sometime be published, then focussing on hard science fiction which she and her co-author husband, Donald S Hall, PhD. self publish. She draws heavily on her technical and real life experience for the sci-fi. They spend long hours creating worlds and plots.

At the same time she was getting back into art. Chemical hypersensitivity forced her to shift from her preferred acrylics and inks to digital art; generative art, 3D art, and AI art, a change that really broadened her vision.

Now in her mid 70's Judi is still significantly disabled and largely housebound. She lives a simple life concentrating on her creative pursuits.
