Join me for an exciting day that begins with a visit to an artist's studio and continues on to explore painting and collage at two Chicago galleries. 

Come visit the studio of Andrew Young, whose luminous mixed media works combine floral motifs with details from architectural interiors, expressing the relationship between nature and culture. Young's work is in many public and private collections including The Miami Art Museum, Madison Museum of Contemporary Art and the Tucson Museum of Art. At Shane Campbell Gallery you will meet Michelle Grabner (2013 Whitney Biennial curator), who will discuss her meditative paper weavings. Monique Meloche Gallery will be exhibiting the beguiling paintings of Gabriel Vormstein. Enjoy lunch at the eco-chic restaurant Prasino.

I hope you can join us! Space is limited, so call to reserve your place or for more information. I would also love to create a customized tour for a special personal or corporate occasion.

Join me for an exciting day that begins with a visit to the Roger Brown Study Collection (RBSC) and continues on to explore painting at two Chicago galleries.

We will visit the former home, studio and art collection of leading Chicago Imagist painter Roger Brown, whose radiant images were passionately political and formally dazzling. The RBSC contains Brown's extensive art collection, found objects and original furniture. Brown's work is in many museum collections including the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. At Shane Campbell Gallery you will see John McAllister's optically intense and elegant paintings evocative of Matisse. Perimeter Gallery will be exhibiting renowned artist Robert Kushner's beautiful Japanese influenced collages. Enjoy lunch at Karyn's Cooked restaurant.

Broaden your knowledge of art and explore Chicago’s art community in a small group atmosphere, with personalized attention.
