Charlene Adler is a native of Wisconsin and lives in both Wisconsin and Texas. As a retired teacher, having taught for 25 years, Art has always been a way to express myself whether it be oil painting or photography.

I don't know where I'm going but I'm on my way." http://charlene-adler.artistwebsites.com/
