By Angela Burden Shaw Free Press News Media Although based on traditional, Mary Alice Bernardin's work is uniquely original and con­ temporary. Watercolorist Bernardin bases her art on Indian philosophy and, like rtiagic, her ideas come through on her canvas.

Bernardin said she likes the idea of Hospice. "It gives a person choices and I like the word choice." She said to give a person a choice "means they don't have to die alone, don't have to hold in thoughts and feelings, and, don't have to be resentful." Ms. Bernardin doesn't have to hold in her feelings, she can color them on canvas. Sometimes serious, sometimes light-hearted and often whimsical, the Bernadin collection, although based on the rich American Indian heritage, has definite originality with her own steps '< beyond the traditional, but most still in­ clude a sprinkling of Indian symbols. Artist Bernardin, 41, was born and raised in Evarisville, Ind., attended the University of Colorado and then the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts school of architectual design. Following her architectural training, she joined a Chicago-based ar­ chitectural design firm before starting her own business. In 1978, she closed her successful architectural design firm to devote full time to painting.' Her interest in the American Indian culture started after she was invited to an archaeological dig. Ms. Bernadin admits the dig did not impress her, but she became interested in the Indian culture and their philosophy. "Once I became involved with that philosophy, the art came easily and it reinforces the J K J L JU . , (^v4UJ .

According to the artist, her painting suddenly became more important to her than her ar1 chitectural design business, so she phased out the business to devote more time to her art.

Her art pieces have been placed in the permanent collections of several large multi-national corporations. She has a strong following of small art collectors too. "Often when a person has bought one of my pieces, they come back again t0 purchase more. It really makeq me feel good," she said. Bernardin said one of her great learning experienns came when she taught a couple of semesters for a learning disability class in Antioch. "A great and wonderful experience for me," she said.
