From the South Side of Chicago to the vibrant creative community of Mérida, Mexico, international artist Chitauqua Brown bridges the gap between waste and wonder. Her practice is built on the belief that everything has a second act. By working exclusively with recycled, found, and donated materials, she transforms discarded fragments into soulful mixed media pieces that give back to humanity through sustainable storytelling.

​

Chitauqua’s work has been exhibited across Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, and Mérida, serving as a vital vessel for finding your people. For her, art is not about perfection or performance. It is a tool for radical alignment. She uses her international platform to encourage fellow artists to create with confidence and to stop pretending. Her mission is to help others see themselves more clearly and to walk boldly in their own rhythm.

​

Through the Maverick Gallery Foundation and her personal creative practice, Chitauqua proves that we are already enough. She creates so that others can find the courage to reclaim their power and contribute to a more sustainable, connected world.
