I go by the artist name MM. Born and raised in Highland Park, IL. Iām a self taught artist. I went to school at Northeastern IL University for Sociology and Women Gender Studies.
Some of my influences are Jean-Michel Basquiat, Cy Twombly and Jean Dubuffet. I sold my first painting to Jodie Foster. Most of my art is usually mixed media, considered to be abstract expressionism.
Favorite Materials: found objects, acrylic, oil, graphite, oil sticks, oil pastels, spray paint, soft pastels, gouache, graphite, markers, charcoal, water colour, and colour pencils.
*All of my work is sprayed with a fixative which preserves and protects the work of art. All paintings are ready to hang on your wall.
If you are interested in any of my large format paintings and/or sculptures that are on my Instagram message me. Also, if you live in the Chicagoland area and can pick up in Lake Forest, IL make sure you choose the pickup option to avoid shipping fee. And we will figure out a time that works for the both of us.
