Opening Exhibit “Forgotten Illinois”

Join me for wine and refreshments at this exhibit sponsored jointly by the Chicago Alliance of Visual Artists (CAVA) and the North Shore Art League (NSAL) on Thursday, July 18th from 6:30 – 8:30 pm.   

Tallgrass Prairie

I created “Tallgrass Prairie” in response to a call for art work that reflects historic Illinois incidents, individuals, or influences. This oil painting imagines what the Illinois landscape once looked like before settlers tilled the soil and turned the prairie into rich farmland:  vast clouds, a glimpse of a monarch butterfly and snake hidden among the prairie wildflowers and the tall bluestem grasses that seem to reach to the sky.

The show runs from Thursday, July 18 through August 9, 2019 at the North Shore Art League’s second floor gallery in the Winnetka Community House.  Gallery hours:  8 am – 9 pm daily; closed on Holidays.
