Hello! I'm Corinne. I'm an artist who studied painting at the Art Institute of Chicago. When I'm not in the studio, I love to show people around Chicago. We Chicagoans are spoiled walking past works of art by Picasso, Chagall, and Miró on our morning commutes, all hidden in plain sight! I love to share the backstories of these masterpieces with locals and tourists alike. I've also got insider information on the best eats in the city. ;)
