CHICAGO ISSUE 736 Jan 2019

"My goal is to create a life that I don't want to take a vacation from. My work as an artist is about seeing the beauty in the ordinary and communicating our shared experiences, because that's what unites us.

I love my job because it allows me to connect with people and the things I am passionate about - iconic personalities, diverse communities and the food we make and share with love.

My subjects challenge my perspectives and influence how I live my life. My motto is: Stay humble. Be kind. Work hard. Welcome to the world behind my eyes."
