Candace Hunter (chlee), a Chicago based artist, has created a new series of collages that are whimsical and tell stories. Through the use of repurposed materials from magazines, vintage maps, cloth, various re-used materials, she offers this new landscape of materials back to the viewer.

During the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic, she began to create what she now calls her “Brown Limbed Girls” – a growing series of whimsical brown girls enjoying their lives. She is extremely happy to share the girls with a new audience.

A highly respected artist through the Midwest, chlee has most recently received the Tim and Helen Meier Family Foundation Award, the 3 Arts Award and honored by the Diasporal Rhythms Collective. She is in many private and public collections.
