Her studio is in her renovated brick home, with gardens & distractions.
Career

Inspiration
Ivadell Marie's first two pastels were critiqued by Albert Handell, who stated, "These are frameable". And when she informed him they were painted just the week before and were her very first pastels, he walked up to her & shook her hand. Now that is an inspiration!
