If a Chicago-style hotdog were an artist,

it would be me. I’m a painter, market organizer, and workshop facilitator welcoming you into a world of neon hues, funky textures, and unexpected inspiration!

As a painter, I create bright celebrity portraits, pet portraits, and food portraits that will make your apartment the talk of the town. My custom jean jackets and handbags will make your cute butt the belle of the ball. My clothes invite you to wear a ball gown to that Old Style-sign bar on the corner and my paintings scream, “Georgia O’Keeffe meets Taylor Swift at the Chicago Rat Hole!”

As an organizer and teacher, I bring this same bold energy as I invite you to let go of your inhibitions, to make connections, and to create outside of perfectionism. Meet new artists at my Macaroni Markets and get to know your neighbors at my classes! Let me lead you down my technicolor road of art and community - you might just get to know yourself!
