Yesterday, my studio mate, Eric Weinstein, and I moved out of the Cornelia Arts Building (CAB). I’ve been there for 16 years and he, 20 years, and we’ve become close friends during that time.
It’s been a great run at Cornelia - from developing my art practice, to sharing my art with the public during the open studios nights, to sharing feedback about work with other artists in the building, to studio visits with friends, or just hanging out in that sacred creative space.
I improved my art, shifted styles, and created hundreds of paintings, drawings, and screen prints during my time at CAB. I’ll think of these years at CAB fondly and where I grew as an artist and as a person. It was a special time period (2006 - 2022) to be an artist at CAB and it was always a welcoming community of artists. It’s a perfect mix of incubator and professional studio building for artists and the place “Where Art Works”.
I hope for the same kind of creative and personal growth in my new studio space. Eric and I will still be sharing a studio - it’s a little further north in Chicago’s Ravenswood Industrial Corridor. Please email me if you’d like to schedule a studio visit to view my work in person or a virtual studio visit Stay tuned for more details about the new studio space…
