LIVE ARTISTS

COOKIE KWAN

Cookie Kwan (Marie Ferrer) is a Filipina multimedia artist hailing from the city of Chicago. After years of being a self-taught, freelance graphic designer, her love for traditional art was rekindled in 2014. Since then, she has been slowly but surely making her way into Chicago’s art scene. The intricate line work she creates, that began as her form of meditation and therapy, has evolved into her signature style. Staying in tune with movement – the artist’s favorite element of design, her lines will have your eyes wandering the canvas, following the story they tell.
