Life at the Intersections

Molly Costello (they/them) is a queer illustrator, food grower, bee keeper, and seed saver living in Rogers Park. Through their art practice they explore themes of interconnectedness, cosmology, biomimicry and social transformation. Molly hopes that through the making and sharing of their artwork they can play a small role in the deep work of reimaging and reshaping our culture out of patterns of supremacy, violence and greed toward a culture of accountability, collective wellness, and abundance. mollycostello.com
