Andy is a Chicago-based visual artist specializing in murals,
painting, illustration and fibre arts. Here, she shows us her
Chicago.
Andy created a mural, with a focus on Queer Love, at our Rush Street boutique.
“My creative process involved studying the relationships
around me. I create work that visually emphasizes the
importance of queer love. Queer Love has to be protected,
held, cheered on and supported.”

“We try to create spaces that are safe. We gather and create
events, but our safety is always threatened in some way. The only place I feel truly safe is
at home with my family.”
