Portraits in Pilsen Pt.2

And now the artist!

Three months have passed, and I have landed back in the beautiful Pilsen courtyard I photographed Ryan. But now, it is a friend who is painting her way to a new life as a professional artist. When I first met Jennifer, the work she showed me was mainly portraits in realistic spaces, but has now grown more faces since then. Her talents even landed her a spot in a competitive reality show called The Exhibit. Attached below are a few of her works/collections I fancied. If you like them, please click for more info…

Hidden behind the bare brick buildings in Chicago, it is always a joy finding spaces not easily seen from the street. Ryan, reached out in need of a work headshot, and while discussing possible locations, mentioned their partner had access to a courtyard in their complex. And can I say… what a joyous treat this courtyard was. Trees plump with cherries, a spitting fountain, textured brick and greenery encapsulated this lovely eden behind Halsted. Here are the results from our speedy 25 minute session ~
