Shop: Urban Woods Walker

Location: Chicago, Illinois

Mary Anne is an inspiration to me. She's an Eco-Artist who makes everything from recycled and upcycled goods. She is truly a busy bee and can hardly keep her Etsy Store stocked. Things sell QUICK HERE.

What's unique about Mary Anne is her genuine approachability and the desire to share ideas and network with other artists for the greater good. (Friendly convos welcome!) She shares wonderful photos of her work, and works in progress at her flicker group under this link.

Once an illustrator, graphic designer, animator, and art educator, (and yes, even a model), Mary Anne has done it all. Now she does what she loves to do, CREATE RECYCLED ART!

Check out some of her work:
