I’m excited to be one of the artists competing in the live Portrait Artist of Illinois Event at the closing of the Portrait Society of Illinois Exhibition at McCord Gallery & Cultural Center! The competition is inspired by one of my favorite British television shows, Portrait Artist of the Year.
Join us as we close the exhibition with live painting, four celebrity models, a grand prize, and public voting—it’s shaping up to be a fun, art-filled afternoon, and everyone is welcome!

I’m also pleased to share that my painting, “Red Shoes”, received an Honorable Mention in the exhibition. The show is full of incredible work, so make plans to visit the McCord Gallery & Cultural Center on October 25. Come see the exhibition, watch us paint live, cheer us on, and cast your vote for your favorite portrait.
