Ingrid will set sail again on September 4, 2008 from New York heading for the Mediterranean via Southampton, Vigo, Spain, Barcelona, Monte Carlo, Rome, Gibraltar, and Lisbon returning September 24. She will be conducting her watercolor workshop aboard Cunard’s RMS Queen Mary II.

Ingrid has a one woman showing at the Freeport Arts Center, Freeport, Illinois. The show runs from January 11 to March 1, 2008. A well attended opening reception for the artist was held on Friday evening, January 11 at the Arts Center. The show had 22 new acrylic paintings depicting Ingrid’s signature landscapes and florals.

Between September 1-3, 2007, Ingrid painted en plein air at the Rockford Waterfront festival while enjoying the excitement and color of crowd and the novelty of working from the middle of the street.

The ceremony was held at the historic Coronado Theater in downtown Rockford.
