Born in Chicago, Illinois, the artist enjoyed a successful

Chicago Sun-Times and U.S. Congressional Record; while continuously winning
awards for her art. She placed first in a national contest for a Paramount
Pictures production. Her portrait of "It's A Wonderful Life" stars, Jimmy
Stewart and Donna Reed, took an award at The Studio of Long Grove, IL. A pet
portrait won honors in "The Artist's Magazine."
She studied at The

Fine Art Portraits by the artist have been commissioned for hundreds of private collections from her
hometown, Chicago, to as far away as Australia.
In her portraiture, she pursues the "ethereal face" in a photo-realistic style, portraying the
dearest of fleeting expressioins. Her Fine Art Portraits depict
how one chooses to be remembered in heirloom art for future
generations.
The artist usually paints to a
background of classical music and sometimes documents the songs to which the
painting was done on the back of the artwork. She maintains a studio in
northwest suburban Chicago.
