“Moving back to Chicago in 2019 after culinary school in Portland made me rediscover the neighborhoods I grew up in. My neighbor Rosa, a retired art teacher, started showing me color theory on her back porch. Now I spend mornings baking bread and afternoons painting the city's shifting moods through abstract impressionist work.”

About Alyssa

Alyssa Navarro came home to Chicago, Illinois, in 2019 after culinary school in Portland and found the old neighborhoods new again. A neighbor, a retired art teacher, began sharing color theory on a back porch. Navarro, a former baker, still makes bread in the mornings and paints the city’s changing moods in the afternoons.

The style is abstract impressionism, and every best seller is Chicago. Umbrellas crowd rain-slicked streets, CTA train lines turn into blocks of blue, orange and red, the Bean reflects the skyline, and Lake Shore Drive curves past a harbor full of sailboats. Below are Navarro’s most popular canvases, all ready to hang.
