Projects

01 — ROTATION

Creative Venture · Chicago, IL

Creating opportunities. Connecting artists. Strengthening communities.

I started developing ROTATION because I wanted to explore new ways for artists to share their work, reach new audiences, and create opportunities to sustain themselves as working artists.

I believe art should exist beyond galleries and museums. The places where we live, work, eat, and gather should also be places where we encounter creativity. ROTATION is built around that idea: connecting local artists with businesses and community spaces through curated art installations and rotating exhibitions.

The vision is to create a network that benefits everyone involved. Artists gain exposure and potential sales opportunities, businesses bring new character into their spaces, and neighborhoods become places where local creativity is more visible and accessible.

But I see ROTATION as more than an art display service. I hope the relationships formed through this network lead to something bigger: collaborative projects, public murals, paid artistic opportunities, and stronger connections between the people and businesses that make up a community.

My ambition is to build something that helps artists grow while contributing to the places they call home.

The vision: A connected network of artists, businesses, and communities where opportunities create more opportunities.

02 — The Moving Gallery Wall

Independent Project · Chicago, IL

Taking art beyond the gallery walls.

I built a mobile gallery wall out of a desire to take control of how and where my artwork is experienced. I grew tired of waiting for gallery opportunities, limited exhibition windows, and the high commissions that can take a significant portion of an artist's sales.

I wanted to create a space of my own, one that allowed me to exhibit my work throughout the year, meet people face-to-face, build relationships with potential collectors, and connect with an audience outside the traditional gallery system.

But the idea has always been bigger than exhibiting my own work. I envision this wall becoming a platform for other artists, giving them an opportunity to display their work, meet new audiences, and build connections they might not otherwise have access to.

What started as a personal solution has become an experiment in independent art exhibition, community engagement, and creating new possibilities for artists.

The goal: Build a platform that brings art directly to people and gives more artists the opportunity to be seen.

03 — Flight Patterns

Community Mural · Chicago, IL

Creating something lasting with the community that raised me.

Being part of my first mural project was an experience I enjoyed every second of. As lead assistant, I had the opportunity to work alongside a talented group of young artists who were eager to learn, create, and contribute to something larger than themselves.

From mixing and developing color gradients to painting, demonstrating techniques, and helping others bring their ideas to life, every part of the process was rewarding. I especially enjoyed being surrounded by young artists who were thriving in an environment that encouraged creativity and collaboration.

What made this project particularly meaningful was the opportunity to give something back to a neighborhood I grew up in. Seeing a mural become a permanent part of that same community gave the experience a significance that went beyond the artwork itself.

It reminded me that public art can do more than transform a physical space. It can bring people together, create opportunities for young artists, and leave something behind for the next generation.

The impact: A collaborative artwork in a neighborhood that helped shape who I am.
