Say hello to Alfred Banks, June's Artist of the Month!

Alfred Banks Jr. is a Chicago-based multimedia artist whose work is deeply inspired by nature, animation, and storytelling. Working across drawing and painting, Alfred develops ideas through sketches before transforming them into colorful, detail-rich compositions that amplify beauty and narrative. Through constant experimentation and prolific art-making, he creates fantastical scenes that invite viewers into imaginative worlds.
