Now that her kids are grown up, Fippinger said that she has been given the chance to focus more attention on her passion for painting. It's just in your blood. Indeed, pieces of her life's work have been displayed all over DuPage County and beyond in such places as offices. Fippinger doesn't know which of these subjects will be displayed at the Villa Park Historical Museum, though she will be taking a total of seven paintings for showcase. Museum hours are 2 to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Admission is free.
