Honoring a Vanished Landmark — and Sharing It Nationally

September 22, 2025

"Last Light of the Coaling Tower" was accepted to the Chicago Pastel Painter’s Tenth Biennial National Juried Exhibition, Pastels Chicago 2025. This exhibition is especially meaningful — it’s CPP’s 20th anniversary national biennial, a major celebration of pastel art, and I’m honored to have my work included among artists from across the country. And, this tower was just demolished last week. It had an iconic presence along Route 12 for 100 years, and many in our community will miss it.

The Art Center (TAC) Highland Park, IL.

Exhibit Dates: October 31, 2025 - December 6, 2025.

Reception & Award Ceremony Friday, November 7, 2025, 5:30–8pm
