Public space artist Ginny Sykes (whose work includes a piece for the Cool Globes Project on the Field Museum Campus) retreats to Studio Rose when she feels like creating something smaller than, say, her average mural to display over the Chicago River. An amorphous painting, which is under perpetual construction and was initially created for 2007’s Art Walk Ravenswood, covers the walls of this studio and gallery. It is within these broad strokes of translucent paint that she creates her home-friendly abstract paintings of unbridled feminine prowess. While Sykes spends most of her time in her studio creating these pieces, she opens up her space as a performance spot or gallery for other artists three to four times a year.
