Ann Toebbe @ Three Walls
Ann Toebbe paints portraits of interior spaces that she reconstructs from memory. For her solo exhibition, Stained Glass, she's painted the Catholic church interiors she remembers from childhood, and her parents' living room at Christmas, hoping to translate her experience as an adult atheist artist into pictures that explore the mysticism of painting and the pop culture undertones of contemporary religion. Tonight at 7:30pm, she'll tell you all about her work in person. ThreeWalls, 119 N. Peoria #2D. For more info, visit the Website or call 312-432-3972.
