ALEXY IRVING | March / April 2021
Specialties: Photography, Gardening
“It is believed that if you give a child the opportunity, they can conquer the world. That’s believed by Alexy Irving, and it was a gifted opportunity that spearheaded her passion for photography.
While in her high-school year book class, Alexy was handed a camera and told to capture a moment for an entire school to see forever. After that, her father gifted her first camera for Christmas and that opportunity to capture moments turned into thousands and now expands internationally.
Alexy utilizes her photography to inspire an appreciation for the nature and people that occupy this world. Within her photo documentation practice, she uses natural environments to tell stories about agriculture, new cities and to spark a curiosity in it all.
Alexy hails from St. Louis where she uprooted everything to pursue her passion in Chicago. That journey makes her a walking example of how leaving your comfort zone can establish growth and curiosity for the world and make this place a more passionate environment.”

ARYN EVANS | February 2020
Specialties: Painting, Gardening, Yoga
“After graduating from law school from the University of Michigan in 2012, I moved to Chicago to work as a trial lawyer for a big law firm. Always full of creative energy, I started experimenting with painting and creative projects in 2016 and fell in love with creating.
Through my artwork and my life, I hope to spread positivity and appreciation for life and nature. Mother Nature is the ultimate muse — I am constantly inspired by the natural beauty of the earth and all of its wildlife, colors, shapes and details. To me, making art is a tangible celebration of being alive!”
CARO | December 2019
Specialities: Photography (Film; Music)

“Born in Detroit, Michigan, Carolina was influenced early on from the stories her father shared with her during his time at El Imparcial, a daily newspaper based in Oaxaca, Mexico. Before immigrating to the United States, Carolina’s father worked in the company’s darkroom, developing and inserting photos into the daily news. The stories from his experience working at that institution would eventually be passed on to Carolina and, ultimately, shape her decision in becoming a photographer.
