I'm a Chicago-based artist. My artwork has been presented in parking lots, former mortuaries, museums, corporate lobbies, malls, galleries, abandoned lots, and the windows of Tiffany's. As Slow’s co-director I brewed curated beers (SmAB), ran an in/dependent gallery in the bathroom (Loo), and gave tours of artwork under hotel beds at art fairs.
