About Me

Create or get your
very own MySpace LayoutsI am a full time professional artist who lives and works in Chicago.
I love to people watch and most of my inspiration comes from people working and commuting on the subways here in Chicago. Love to overhear conversations, private, yet very public cellphone chit chat, personal encounters that are so very public...How can you not help but over hear some of these conversations? These are the faces I see and I draw from my urban landscape. These are my alternative urban portraits.
The very private side of me slips away from the city to the sounds of surf hitting the sand. The dunes and landscapes surrounding Lake Michigan draw me into their beauty. Serene plein air landscape meets a gal from the hustle and bustle of city life...I hope that you enjoy. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing any of these paintings or click on the link to my website for other paintings available.

I'd like to meet:

Good natured, good humoured people, artists, collectors and creative people. People who are not on the prowl. Sorry, but I'm a well adjusted, happily married woman and although I'd possibly be flattered, you're wasting your time.
