It s only been three years since St. Charles artist Christine Hayman began working with oil pastels to create works featuring still life and landscapes.
But her first solo exhibit, titled Observational Musings, just opened at Bartlett s village hall.
I absolutely fell in love with it, it s an integral part of my life now, Hayman said. It s been a joy to my life.
After photos of her art were shared by a friend, Hayman was invited to exhibit in the gallery by Arts in Bartlett, a nonprofit meant to celebrate the arts and enrich the community. Her work went on display last week.

At last count, sleepy little Wayne had a 2016 population of 2,429. Yet this quaint town nestled along a shady, 25 mph-only, stretch of Army Trail Road has a very active art league that meets weekly in the equally quaint Little Home Church by the Wayside.
With a paid membership of 44 artists and a maximum membership of 50, the art league welcomes artists of varying skill levels working in all types of mediums.
