The Art of Dee Schuster

The art of Dee Schuster, Des Plaines Art Guild artist, is on view at the third floor gallery, (periodical reading area) of the Des Plaines Public Library, 1501 Ellinwood Ave. during November.

Schuster is a realistic painter who works in oil from photographs to create realistic wild and domestic animal portraits, landscapes, and florals. She is inspired by color and her delicate brush work gives her work a photographic quality. The show features sixteen paintings, including a new landscape of the Indiana sand dunes and a dramatic palette knife painting of poppies.

Schuster studied at the American Academy and the Chicago Academy of Art. She regularly shows at art fairs including most recently the 57th annual Des Plaines Art Fair. She has also exhibited at the Gold Coast Art Fair, the Oak Park Art Fair and the Park Ridge Art Fair.
