About the artist, Mardell Means
The artwork for these cards was created especially for your enjoyment by Mardell
Means, an enthusiastic artist with a passion for watercolors. Mardell, who has always
been interested in art, received a scholarship to attend art classes at the Peoria Art Guild,
where she learned to work with different types of paint. Previous artwork has been
featured at CWTC's silent auction events.
Mardell has been participating in CWTC's services since 1991, when she began in the
employment program and later moved into a supported living apartment. She recently
realized a lifelong dream of obtaining her driver's license and getting her first car. She
continues to be involved with CWTC today.
