"Laguna Palms" (22"x30")

Adele's desire to create art started when she was a young girl, eventually earning her a scholarship to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York.  After graduation with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree she worked in a design studio in Manhattan as a graphic designer.

Moving to Michigan, Adele continued to study painting at the Society of Arts and Crafts in Detroit.

A couple of years later she moved to California.  While raising three children she worked as a freelance graphic designer.  One of her most noteworthy commissions was designing the Claremont city seal.

Later Adele became co-owner of a high quality print shop in the Claremont Village.  During that time she designed a number of corporate images, annual reports, brochures and books.

Now having retired from the print shop, she has relocated to Huntington Beach where she has returned to her life-long love of painting.
"Painting, to me, is truly the joie de vivre."
