Artist's Biography

After her childhood in El Paso, Texas, Ms. Galvin attended Northwestern University in Chicago, graduating with a BS degree in journalism and advertising. As she began her advertising career in Chicago, she also began attending art courses at the Chicago Art Institute, thus starting her life-long passion for creating fine art.

Eventually Ms. Galvin returned to El Paso to work for the advertising firm of SWG&M where she became a partner. There she directed innumerable projects in advertising art and wrote and illustrated children's books. For the past ten years, she has devoted full time to painting in her studio in El Paso.

Ms. Galvin's paintings are in numerous private and corporate collections in Texas, New Mexico, Virginia, Massachusetts, Montana, Oregon, California and New York.
