Biography
Barbara Leibhardt Wester is an environmental lawyer and historian who works, writes, and quilts in northern Illinois, where she lives with her husband, two teen-aged sons, and a large Siberian husky. The Illuminatrix was, in part, inspired by her mother, who was, between 1950 and 1961, an artist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, where, among other things, she spent countless hours painting and hand lettering large murals for the backgrounds of exhibit cases in the geology and paleontology departments.
