My series, Choose Your Own Adventure (eight panels) was selected to be purchased for the Illinois Capital Development Board Art in Architecture Program.

The request for qualifications for artwork purchases was for the College of Lake County's new building at the Waukegan, Illinois campus. This beautiful building is located on Lake Michigan and carries an inspiring, modern design.

This state opportunity was available only to Illinois artists and had a record breaking 145 applicants. 26 artists were chosen. I am grateful for this opportunity to share my passion for learning with all who may study at this campus!

I wanted to create art that represents the various paths we may take when we become students. The eight panels I created may be hung in any order and in any direction. When we follow our hearts and minds we make decisions that inform personal growth. We choose what to study and begin to understand our authentic selves. We choose our own adventures!

Our adventures have various colors and shapes! Our adventures have highs and lows! Every experience leads to new experiences and we discover we are lifelong learners.
