Local Art Treasures


If you are like me, always on a hunt to find new discoveries and know that Chicago offers talent waiting to be discover, this next piece will soothe your soul. I asked a local artist, here in Glencoe, for some recommendations and these are her links for mindful treasures in the Chicago area, some right here in your very own neighborhood.




Danny Mansmith – Off –beat, animated fiber artist from Chicago.  His studio is a jaw-dropping experience of fantasy.
