This show is juried By Kristoffer McAfee, an abstract Chicago based Artist. He was born in San Diego, California and moved to Chicago as a child to be raised on the south side of the city. During his time in high school at Kenwood Academy, he began his career in mural making and graffiti writing as a creative outlet. After graduating high school and dropping out of med school, he began his career at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago studying Fine Art / Art Therapy. After attending SAIC, he went directly into graduate school to receive his Masters of Fine Art at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. He is currently working on entering a program to receive his PhD while art making in his studio in the Pilsen area of Chicago.
