Sketch of the sunbather by Nat in Wilmette

I am a Chicago area based artist who works in various mediums and genres. I have been drawing and painting since childhood, have gone to art schools and hold a degree in costume design in theater, and have worked in theaters and a ballet company. A few years ago I have started painting murals and interior portraits. Recently I've picked up painting people and pet portraits. Sketching and painting live has been always my passion.
