Bio
I live and paint in the Chicago area. I work mainly in watercolor, but enjoy painting in pastels as well. I was a librarian at Bloomingdale Public Library for sixteen years, and have always advocated for lifelong learning. I learn something new with every painting. As someone who came to painting late in life, I am enjoying the challenge of creating something from nothing, and hope the joy I take in making art is reflected in my work. I’m especially interested in the places where the natural world meets the urban environment. Scenes in and around the Chicago River are favorite subjects. I also never met a skyline I didn’t like. I am a member of the Plein Air Painters Chicago and the DuPage Art League.
