Asha Amore Brown Asha Amore Brown is a Sociology student and artist. A published model, she also pours her creativity into her mixed media art practice. Asha’s mediums include oil pastel, ink, and gouache, incorporating collage, resist, and monotype processes. Her newfound love, painting with acrylics, has broadened her ideas and enhanced her style. Her painting titled “Girls” encompasses women’s relationships and need for community while nodding to the artist’s saturated flat space style and feminine theme. This is Asha's first exhibition with Anatomically Correct.

Howard Heath Howard Heath is a product of Chicago Public Schools and graduated from Wendell Phillps High School. After college, he taught at Lane Technical High School for 31 years as a math and computer teacher. He was active in the teachers union his entire career and was a union delegate for more than twenty years. In 2001, he was elected Vice-President of the Chicago Teachers Union. His position not only included filling in for the President when needed, but also lobbying for current and retired teacher issues, which he still does. In his role as the Vice-President of the union, he was fortunate enough to work politically with, most notably Lisa Madigan, Jesse White, Barack Obama and our current State Senator Omar Aquino. After his stint at the Chicago Teachers Union, he returned to Lane where he retired in 2007. Currently, he volunteers with the Chicago Teachers Union and serves on the Class Size and Teacher Evaluation Appeals Committees. He also serves as the National (AFT) Retiree representative from the CTU. Recently, he co-authored several articles for the Chicago Union Teacher monthly magazine, on issues related to retirees. He has been a serious photo fine art, nature and journalism photographer for over forty years and regularly has photo credits in the teacher publication Chicago Union Teacher (CUT). In the last ten years, he has exhibited at the "Uri-Eichen" and the "The Health in the Arts" Galleries and several local cafes including Mathers LifeWays. This is Howard's third exhibition with Anatomically Correct.

Alan Emerson Hicks Alan is a "creator of temporal sculpture". He uses plastic from found objects and stickers to create his sculptures and mixed media pieces in an effort to show how plastics do not bio-degrade in the environment. He received a BFA in Fine Art (Sculpture) from Illinois State University and previously taught at the Luther High School in Chicago for 7 years. His work has been exhibited at many galleries in and around Chicago. Look for his high-end dresses and headpieces (made from snack food wrappers) in many clubs, runways and public appearances. This is Alan's third exhibition with Anatomically Correct.

Clarence Lindsey
Mr. Lindsey went to an art class at the age of 8 years old in his poor neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan. It was then he decided that art was his calling.

His artwork has been exhibited in many galleries and art fairs and he has won numerous competitions, awards and ribbons. He is an active member of the LaGrange Art League.

Tasha Nemo I create artwork that celebrates and pays homage to African American and African contributors to the arts and social justice. I believe it is important for people to have art that speaks to the positive works of African Americans that are overlooked by the status quo. We stand on the shoulders of so many, and my artwork is a "thank you" to all those who came before me. This is Tasha's second exhibit with Anatomically Correct. |
