With the slow onset of summer in Chicago, the festival season gets underway with a plethora of events and activities to appeal to every interest . As I strategically seek out opportinites to bring my creative vision to the public, I keep myself open and ready to take advantage of "outside the box"  situations of exposure. Networking in a variety of circles, I recognize that ART is everywhere, and no possibilities or ideas should be overlooked.     

On Friday, June 20, 2025, I will be one of the featured vendors, showcasing mostly my acrylic "Surreal Life" canvases at a beauty "happy hour" event at a Chicago Gold Coast salon, Maryanne Strokirk.For $25, there will be mini makeovers, appetizers, asthetician offerings, libations, other vendors to shop with and a DJ. Reservations are required.
