Adam Dube
DAZEYFACE is a public art project by Adam Dubé inspired by the intersection(s) of street art & streetwear. Primarily, the use of vintage garments as vehicles for original artwork.
Born & raised in Maine, the ideals of durability, sustainability, integrity, and hard work became my ethos.
The subject matter, a common daisy, seems comforting & sunny, but the melancholic expression encourages further investigation. Bright and sunny facades often shroud dark, dismal truths. Take a second look.

Dail Kirkpatrick
Dail was born in a small town in Illinois, grew up in the country, and often let her imagination take her to faraway places. She has a Masters in Art Education and is a K-12 certified Art Teacher currently teaching 3rd-5th grade art on the south side of Chicago (through e-learning at the moment). As an arts education major, she has experience in a wide variety of mediums and practices. Her focus was in printmaking and she now mostly works with acrylic paint, oil pastel, and colored pencils, oftentimes in a mixed media fashion. In 2015, she started focusing more seriously on her personal practice, started participating in small, local Chicago art shows, and joined Fulton Street Collective in 2019 with her own private studio. She was selected to participate in The Other Art Fair Chicago 2020, which has been postponed due to Covid-19, but will be her biggest show/fair to date. She is currently the Member’s Coordinator and Principal Curator at Fulton Street Collective’s gallery.

Bridget Bond
Bridget Bond is a Hoffman Estates artist who comes from a family of artists who don’t call themselves artists. They are tinkerers and improvers who leave something more beautiful and useful than they found it. Inspired by that process, Bridget uses a variety of mediums to do the same. She maintains a balance of traditional painting and digital design. Graphic design work includes brand identity and product design, which has been featured on zulily.com. Bridget’s heart centers on custom art for children’s spaces where she makes each piece as personal as possible. Vibrant, playful and full of character, her canvases and murals instantly lift the energy and spirit of a room. Recently, Bridget has done glass murals in shop windows and looks forward to creating more in commercial spaces.
When she’s not painting, Bridget loves spending time with her husband and two boys (who are also artists who don’t call themselves artists).

Cherylyn Gnadt
On a constant quest for balance as an artist, instructor, marketing professional and Mom, I carve out creative time - sometimes quite literally.
The meditative quality in carving a block of wood or building up layers of collage, paint, metal and ephemera – waiting, reflecting, then working some more – allows for luminosity and serendipity essential to my process. My current work is primarily figurative, incorporating nature – revealing surrealistic themes of domesticity, stigma, isolation, adaptability and perseverance.
My passion is creating relatable art experiences that aim to better lives and communities – collaborations, public art, teaching, artist talks, and mentoring.
I teach printmaking, mixed media and metal workshops and I am a certified Precious Metal Clay Instructor. I’ve also been an artist facilitator for special needs adults.
My technical art background originates from the American Academy of Art (1992) and recently graduated from Elmhurst College with a degree in Communications and minor in Fine Art (2017). I also hold many certifications, including a certificate in Nonprofit Management from UIC (2020).
