Non-notable local artist, paints for hire, nor any evidence of special significance. Refs include person's business website and a single article not showing any notability other than being hired to paint a wall. Search results show nothing but social media or business/listings links. Does not seem to meet WP:NARTIST or WP:GNG. &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(ring-ring)  04:24, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: I added a reference which mentions a public "piece of patriotic artwork" by the subject in Arlington Heights, but that is local coverage a long way short of the WP:ARTIST criteria; nor do I see anything to meet wider WP:GNG criteria. AllyD (talk) 09:17, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Even Michelangelo was a painter for hire, but in her case it does not come with anything that shows passing WP:CREATIVE and WP:GNG. You can paint for hire and still exhibit and be in museum collection. But it's not here. So, it's a Delete for me. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 11:56, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as per above.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 23:10, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as still questionably better for the applicable notability, nothing else convincing. SwisterTwister   talk  04:56, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
