Ms. Klein, who was born in Chicago, says when asked about her career choice, “I never decided to become an artist – I always remember being one.  From an early age on it was a part of me, taken for granted, just like breathing.  I did however study at various art schools, both in this country (The Art Institute of Chicago and Bennington College), and abroad (Paris and Mexico City), taking in what I wanted, rejecting what I did not want in order to develop my own personal, naïf style of expression.”

Ms. Klein has won numerous awards and competitions and many of her paintings hang in public and private collections.
