Artist Anne Nordhaus-Bike will showcase her colorful watercolors at the fall Fine Art Expo in Chicago’s trendy West Loop.
 

Artist Anne Nordhaus-Bike was selected to exhibit her paintings at the exclusive West Loop Contemporary Fine Art Expo to be held Friday through Sunday, October 17 through 19, in Chicago. Only four dozen artists, admitted by invitation only, will host booths at this curated, boutique event, which will enable artists to offer their creations directly to the public.

"I'm thrilled to announce my participation in this exciting new Fine Art Expo," Nordhaus-Bike said. "For the first time, I will present a large selection of my paintings in person in a curated set of collections."

Art collectors will get the first look at pieces Anne will exhibit for the first time as well as paintings "from the vault" that haven't been on view for many years.

"I'm looking forward to sharing all these wonderful paintings," she said. "Each piece will be beautifully and professionally framed, so all artwork will be ready to hang in collectors' home or office."
