My paintings are an attempt to capture a special moment or experience. Using color and composition, I try to put the feeling I had at the time — whether wonderful lighting, beautiful flowers in my garden, or a sweet pet — into my paintings.
Starting on January 1, 2020, patrons of the Fox River Valley Public Library District will no longer be charged fines for materials that are returned late. In addition, existing overdue fines will be waived from all patron accounts.
Studies have shown that the implementation of late fees on overdue materials does not actively encourage patrons to return materials on time. Instead, these fees act as a barrier for some patrons and their families from continuing to visit our libraries altogether.
The Friends of the Library will be on hand to unload your donations of used books and media this Saturday, July 13 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Dundee Library. The library is located at 555 Barrington Ave. (Rt. 68) in East Dundee. 
The Ruth Wendt Gallery is pleased to welcome a stellar collections of images lent by the Northwest Suburban Astronomers. The collection will be on display through July 28 to coincide with the library's Summer Reading Challenge theme, "A Universe of Stories."
Based in the northwestern suburbs of Chicago, the Northwest Suburban Astronomers is a group of about 150 individuals and families from all walks of life and all age groups who share an interest in amateur astronomy.

Born in Park Ridge, IL, I started my debut in drawing comics at the age of 10, when I was drawn to Batman, Superman, and Spider-man. As I got older my art improved and I went to The Art Institute of Schaumburg and graduated with a BFA in 2018. My aspiration is to make a career drawing comic books.
