I put these paintings up over five years ago. I love how they have aged! #ksalem #kleptosalem #artistsofinstagram #artinpublicplaces #chicagoartist (at Bemis Woods South)

It was great to see all the cute photos of your valentines! I made this for my partner...who has had my heart in his hands for 10 years. I have been trying to make it a tradition that i make him a piece of art every year. #valentine #valentineartcollection #ksalem

action shot from 2007, chicago.  It's crazy i've been putting these up for over a decade.  In the white ribbon it says "Nurses smile when you've got iron veins." Its from a tori amos song, and these words made me think of my mother, who was going through chemotherapy at the time, and the nurses always told her how strong and amazing she was. (They weren't lying!) Art kept me sane during that time, and helped me process her loss.  Now I try to help youth understand that art can make change either within them, or around them.  #rememberwhyyoumake #nursessmilewhenyouvegotironveins #womenstreetartists #kleptosalem #ksalem #chicagoartists #chicagostreetart #streetart
