I really enjoyed visiting this year's EXPO Chicago Art Fair at Navy Pier. On my way there, I passed an exhibit that's on view at the pier, curated by artist Dana Todd Pope of The Women's LIVE Artist Studio, a showcase of portraits by unsung heroines of our local creative scene, called Giving her Her Flowers. The first portrait on display is my friend Minnie Watkins' rendering of Dr. Margaret Burroughs, one of the founders of the DuSable Black History Museum and an artist in her own right.
I recommend taking a look at it on your way to or from EXPO. Here are some of my favorite pieces from the show. My apologies for missing a few of the artists' names.
