About This Issue
Our Arts & Culture issue covers local, national, and global talent and much more. On our cover is a local artist who returned to art showing wonderful results in her work. With a nod to painter Vincent van Gogh, South Barrington artist Pooja Chatterji creates oil paintings in vibrant color and with bold brushstrokes that reflect her adventurous travels around the world.
