Art
for me is something I always remember doing. Growing up in Chicago gave me the
advantage of having art taught in my grade school and high school, both of which
were fortunate to have beautiful Chicago Mural art to inspire. Additionally, I
was sent to the Art Institute of Chicago for free, further studying with Mr.
Osborne in Fullerton Hall. He lectured weekly, gave slide presentations of
famous painters and assignments to be done at home and critiqued by him.
The French Impressionists are my favorite artists. I especially admire the
design and color in the works of Gauguin and Van Gogh. In college I drew and
painted from models, still life etc. Now, I mainly work with my own photographs
for subject matter. My concentration in art has been personal and not
commercial.
