In the Gallery -- Photographs by Carisa Mitchell
"As a person who seeks out stories regarding other people's lives it seemed fitting to find the stories of my grandparents. I thought their stories would be about their lives in the past. However, once I started to photograph their interior living space I found that the objects and the order of things around them become just as interesting as their stories."
-- Carisa Mitchell, photographer
Current Artist-in-Residence at Lil Street Art Studio in Chicago

In The Gallery -- Tony Armendariz Exhibition
Tony Armendariz
Tony Armendariz paints exclusively in watercolor on paper in the pure transparent tradition.
"My paintings are portraits of timeworn structures and objects in the urban landscape. Through a representational style, my intent is that the structures convey a variety of stories told over years of use and abuse. By placing the viewer up close into the immediate space of the subject, I prompt them to establish a personal connection to these stories.
Through the use of high contrasts, intense sunlight, and desolate settings, a pensive mood is evoked in the work. Some of the subjects' stories are quiet and simple, and yet some are dramatic and profound. The aging man-made structures I depict are often decaying, but my goal is to present them with dignity."
