Ever since I was a little girl, I admired art. Perhaps it was growing up in a city like Chicago where there is beauty at every turn - from parks, museums, and our beautiful skyline, art is everywhere you look. I hope here we can celebrate the fact that artists come in all shapes and sizes. Sure, artists are those who take a paintbrush and know their way around a canvas. But artists can also be found on football fiels, inside of MMA cages (Mixed Martial Arts), on the stage of Radio City Music Hall, and a thousand other places. And so, it is my joy to present a gallery of these amazing artists!
