Hey, I Thought of You
Carolyn (she/her) runs Hey, I Thought Of You! She likes drawing, papercutting, tropical plants, musical theater, and dogs. She moved to Chicago in 2009, after going to school at Alfred University in New York State and studying film photography and neon bending. A few years ago, she was the Chicago Public Library Maker In Residence and taught art classes all over the city. Carolyn wanted to open a space where all these artists she's met could show their work and teach people in the community how to make different kinds of art. Now it’s happening!
