Lake Villa District Library is proud to present Fine Art in Pastel by Darlene Bock as its Featured Artist Exhibit for May and June. Bock has earned Signature Status with both the prestigious Pastel Society of America and the Chicago Pastel Painters. Her award-winning work has been juried into numerous national and international fine art competitions, as well as solo and group exhibitions in galleries throughout the Midwest.
“The moment I tried pastel, it was love at first touch,” said Bock. “The various papers I use have a rough texture to hold the pure pastel pigment and can be sanded, allowing me to layer the colors.”
Bock has worked as an illustrator, creating portraits in pastel and pencil. She also paints still life scenes and landscapes.
The Featured Artist Exhibit space is located on the main level lobby of the library and showcases the work of local artists on a rotating basis. For more information call 847-245-5115.
Lake Villa District Library connects people with resources, services, spaces, and each other.
