About Kayla Mahaffey
Born and raised on Chicago’s South Side, Kayla Mahaffey is quickly becoming one of the city’s most sought-after artists with her unique blend of flat, cartoon elements with brilliant photorealism. Mahaffey’s work gives voice to the unheard stories of contemporary youth and, as elucidated by the artist, “serves as a guide to bring hope back into our daily lives by cherishing each moment not in the mindset of an adult, but with the fresh eyes and imagination of a child.”
About Max Sansing
Max Sansing, a Chicago native, was raised on the Southside in the Avalon Park community. His parents were artists, and so he naturally grew to love painting at an early age. Fueled by the desire to create art, Sansing taught himself oil painting and later completed two years of formal college training at The American Academy of Art from 1999 to 2000. In addition to painting full time, Sansing has expanded his creativity and artistic talents into creating murals across Chicago and translating art into electronic media as a graphic design artist. Sansing’s work has been displayed at art galleries and special events in Chicago and in New York. His current art influences include Norman Rockwell, Maxfield Parrish, Gustav Klimt, Thomas Blackshear, and his late father, Ellis Sansing. Max is the Co-Founder of RK Design an art consulting group that specializes in mural and graphic design.
