Gallery of Paintings from Armadillo’s Pillow bookstore in Rogers Park
I am among the many fans of the wonderfully eclectic and neighborhood treasure that is The Armadillo’s Pillow in Rogers Park and have been a customer for over 20 years now. Some of the best and most interesting books I’ve read I found here. I could spend hours here.
I feel fortunate and grateful to be able to exhibit and sell my paintings here and participate in its wonderful culture.
