Opening Monday, May 13th, from 1PM - 2PM
Join CPL for an artist talk with Geraldine Martinez-Benz who currently has an exhibition in the Popular Library throughout the month of May.
Geraldine Martinez-Benz is a children’s book designer, fine artist, graphic designer, wife and mother. She is a Bachelor of Fine Arts graduate with a major in Painting from the University of the Philippines-Cebu. She has shared her love for the visual arts through several summer art workshops in the Philippines and with Filipino American kids at the Philippine Consulate in Chicago. A native of Ormoc City, she has also taught street and indigent children through a partnership with the local DSWD and World Vision chapters, rooted in the belief that art should be made accessible to all. For her day job she has worked as a graphic designer in Manila, Cebu, Shenzen and Chicago. As a visual artist, she has exhibited in the Philippines, Chicago and Evanston. Three years ago, she founded Sinag, now a 60-member strong art collective of Filipino American artists in the Chicago area. With Sinag, she hopes to connect to Filipino American artists and help build a strong presence in the art world of Chicago.
