We shot five Chicago-based artists at one of the most diversely curated spots in the city, Salvage One, a vibrant and endless showroom filled with recycled art, furniture and relics of the past.

Each woman in front of the camera claimed their own unique space in a sea of color and design, filling this three-story wonderland with that singular Chicago reverb you can just feel.

We got to know more about the creative process behind each artist, what makes them tick, and what moves them to do what they do.
