Join us for some whimsy and accessible art by local artist, Jennifer Hauser.

Jennifer Hauser is a Chicago-based artist by calling. When she’s not distilling whimsy from visions of rollicking bunnies, she daylights as an architect. She’s published a comic book and a coloring book while taking the local art scene by fluffle. Jennifer enjoys making art that can be appreciated in a variety of ways in accordance to the one true fact of life-that everyone should be able to afford to enjoy art. Catch Jennifer’s elusive bunnies in select retail establishments as well as local galleries.

“I specialize in vignettes of bunnies in their tree houses. I ask you: what was your favorite picture book when you were a kid? Think on what intimate details of illustrations lingered with you and what characters were your favorite? The bunnies in my drawings are like those favorite characters from your childhood that have come back. I cropped the images to include only bunnies from the original works because the work centers around the bunnies.”
