    More about the Artist (barbara-ebeling.fineartamerica.com)

    I am new to drawing and painting although it was something I loved as a kid. In high school I took one art class my senior year under Miss Barbara Olson. She suggested that I consider taking an art major in college. My father had other ideas! As a result, this love was put aside until I was nearing retirement. I began taking a few drawing, colored pencil and watercolor classes at Chicago’s Morton Arboretum.

    I am finally getting a chance to do what I really love to do...draw and paint! Flowers and gardens have always been a love of mine even as a kid as I pulled weeds in my mother’s Wisconsin flower garden. Today, I try to fill our townhouse entryway, lakeshore and our house with flowers. When my husband and I travel, it is always the gardens that we end up visiting first. Photography is a second love of mine and many of these become the subjects of my drawings and paintings. I am looking forward to displaying my drawings and paintings at the museum and sharing my creations with relatives, friends, and area residents.
