Nancy Cassidy
Chicago Chapter
My work is movement based, exploring color and shape as energy and vibration. Literally moved by nature, my paintings are created when gestures express themselves with pigment. I love being enveloped by a painting, standing so close to it your eyes see nothing but color. I invite you to get up close and personal with them as well.
Clarisse Casalino
Member-at-large
Clarisse Casalino is a registered psychiatric nurse, published writer, and artist living in Chicago, IL. Clarisse graduated from Latin School in 2013, and New York University in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. As a psychiatric nurse and a previous psychiatric patient, Clarisse finds herself in a particularly fantastic position to show the sane insanity.
Lourdes Guerrero
Chicago Chapter
As a third-generation Mexican-American, I was inspired to crochet by my grandmother, Guadalupe Guerrero Saldaña. I started when I was seven years old. Over the years, other strong and patient women like my grandmother helped me develop a firm foundation in crochet and other fiber techniques, from knitting to embroidering to weaving.

Normalizing Dis-Ability This National Autism Acceptance Week
This Autism Acceptance Month is a great opportunity to explore the concepts of nature, spirituality, color, and even how to think about dis-ability in our society. The latter is a personal quest of mine. I have been giving great consideration to what it means to be “normal” or even to be “marginalized,” and what will the womb-men of the world do to raise their voices in humanity’s defense. How will visual culture, art, and text, shape the rhetoric of tomorrow?
