Phyllis Natanek
Phyllis Natanek is a writer and artist/potter currently living in the Illiois Valley region of the state, where she and her husband Richard are rehabbing an old house into their studio. This should be finished in about forty more years.

Phyllis feels totally at home with nature, and has incorporated the world that many of us don’t see anymore into her poetry, prose and art.

Throughout a long life, Phyllis has had art exhibited at many locations throughout Chicagoland. She has published two books, and has had many of her poems published in Illinois poetry journals.

She has been invited to read her poetry at Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, Victoria’s Books in Arlington Heights, and other venues. She has also been asked repeatedly by her family not to read her poems at family gatherings.

When not sitting outside talking to insects, animals and trees, she is a somewhat normal member of her community.

LPC Studios is the online home of Richard and Phyllis Natanek's art. The site features some of their current work that is for sale, as well as contact information.
