Working with Landmarks Illinois

This past spring, I had the pleasure of working with Landmarks Illinois (LI) on a special project - that of illustrating the Old Chicago Stock Exchange Arch as part of LI’s 50th anniversary celebration. You can read the extended version of the article HERE that was first appeared in the August edition of The Arch newsletter.

I have walked by the arch hundreds of times - since I have lived in Chicago, the near west burbs and my time at SAIC during graduate studies. However, this project game me the opportunity to really ‘see’ the remains of the building as a gem meant to be admired and looked upon with a renewed sense of wonder.

Thank you to all of those I worked with at Landmarks Illinois for making this a fun and exciting project - Bonnie McDonald, Julie Carpenter and Kaitlyn McAvoy.
