NSYMCA Community Art Gallery features Artist Shirley Aberg in February

Northbrook, IL: February 2024 – North Suburban YMCA’s Community Gallery is showcasing local artist Shirley Aberg throughout the month of February. All of the work featured will be for sale with a portion of the proceeds benefitting the Visual Arts department of the NSYMCA.

Shirley Aberg, a former teacher and counselor, has since studied and participated in art workshops and shows work throughout Illinois and California. Aberg has sold pieces and won awards for her art in Illinois, California, New York and England. Aberg started her painting career using watercolor, pastels, oils and multimedia. Presently Aberg’s artwork is mainly in acrylics.

“I am stimulated by nature: shapes, patterns, color and mood,” says Aberg. “And I love painting sunrises and sunsets, nature centers, and the change of season,” Aberg continues.

A reception is being held for the Aberg exhibit on February 4 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm at the NSYMCA located at 2705 Techny Road in Northbrook.

The NSYMCA’s Community Gallery celebrates the diversely talented artists living and working in Chicago’s northern suburbs with monthly exhibits that are free and open to the public.
