Sholo
Born on the Southside of Chicago in 1968, and raised on the Northshore of Chicago. I was an artist at a young age, influenced by my mother who was a floral and interior designer. As a self-taught mixed media artist and mother of two, art and family has been a priority for the last thirty years. I have learned to embrace my mistakes, revealing a better understanding of what the universe wants for my art. I rebelled against rules of techniques while in art school, resulting in creating utopian painted environments echoing my love for fashion, textiles, women, and patterns.
I have also taken my art to the streets with murals to advocate for social change on racism and women’s rights. Each mural I create contains bright colors with hidden messages to observe and process.
