Delisha McKinney creates whimsical illustrations that are larger than life, full of vibrant colors, textures and hidden meanings. Each piece represents another page in the story shes been working on her whole life. Her otherworldly characters represent the thin line between fantasy and reality, a whole new world sketched by McKinney, who is a self taught painter and self proclaimed nomad of the south, now practicing in Chicago. McKinney's art isnt just something you stand in front of and gaze at, you step into it and experience it. Her art pulls you in with it's playful approach to the canvas; the soft lines, the shapes and her "Alice in Wonderland" vibe. If adults still believe in fairytales, hers would be it. A place where art can pull you up from the streets, hero means love, and dreams come true.
