Featured Artist
I was a Featured Artist for the September 16-17, 2023, Naperville Riverwalk Art Fair in Naperville, Illinois. The Naperville Arts League chose my original acrylic painting as the featured artwork for the promotional banners designed to line Main Street in Naperville. The vivid and vibrant hues of, Taking a Moment, was chosen as organizations in the communities of DuPage County have collaborated with the summer Andy Warhol exhibit at the McAninch Arts Center at the College of DuPage. If you’d like to learn more contact me or come see me a one of my shows!
