"Art is Business"
Lea Pinsky
As an artist, my main focus is leading murals in schools and
community spaces. Over the past ten years I have created more than two
dozen large-scale works for schools, churches, playgrounds, and
community centers. Many mural projects are collaborations with my
husband, artist Dustin Harris. Together we run the company Mix Masters Murals
-- check us out for a full portfolio of projects.
I am also a
sometimes-painter, and hope to fill my site with more canvas work in the
upcoming year.
As an arts education specialist, I have founded,
managed and taught youth programs with Columbia College Chicago, Urban
Gateways, City of Evanston, Chicago Humanities Festival, After School
Matters, Steppenwolf Theatre, and Lifeline Theatre. I am currently the
Director of Education and Outreach with Art Encounter.
The Phantom Galleries are temporary exhibitions in non traditional gallery settings.
