Greetings, I am an artist from Illinois, working in Pennsylvania. My
current and previous schooling includes The Waichulis Studio, Studio Incamminati, the Angel Academy of Art and the University of Illinois. I hope you enjoy the artwork and thanks for visiting.
was able to pick up the Drawing mag the other day ... very nice they put your drawing next to those subsciption insert thingies - you always flip to that page first cuz of those !
If there's better drawing going on somewhere else,I haven't seen it. The veracity of these pieces is staggering.Hats off to you.Keep channeling the Muse.
Aww, thanks Kate! Your work is totally amazing!! I saw your drawing of your mother of the American Artist Drawing site and LOOVEE IT!! David's comments about it are so cool too!!
Hello, thanks for adding me. You have nice works, very good skill with the forms and values. Congratulations on your ARC win. I've been studying at Angel too, we must have missed each other!
