On the Move to Chicago

As a new resident of Libertyville, I am thrilled to have access to the great city of Chicago.  The  city's public art, local artists, galleries and reknown museums are a quick train away.  How exciting to be in an area with such a wonderful artistic and architecturally rich history!  I am so inspired!
I have a great studio in my house where I am continuing  to work on still lifes and landscapes for my own pleasure as well as floorclothes, designs for murals and mock ups for the decorative painting part of my life.
 I am currently offering art classes for children and adults and "Fun Art Birthday Parties" through Libertyville's Park and Recreation. 
I've joined "Artists on the Bluff", a group of artists that meet monthly and have a galllery space in an beautiful rail road station!
