Illinois Art Station welcomes local artist Starlight-Jaxsun Porter of Monster Girl Brigade (MGB) as our first GUEST artist of 2023!

A Home For Monstars is a show about identity and self expression through loving oneself. It’s about magic, monsters, love, and a home each of us carries in our hearts.

“I’ve always viewed my art as a diary,” says Starlight-Jaxsun. “I create pieces that are colorful, eye catching, monstrous. Pieces that will draw in as many people as possible through the use of color, subject matter, and humor lots of time. I use bold, neon, vivid colors to combat social injustices, personal trauma, and as a bridge. I want my work to help at least one other person out there that’s feeling similar or how I did in my past. I want it to be a bridge back to their own self for that person. A bridge of realization that they aren’t alone in their feelings.”

Find, nurture, and celebrate your inner Monstar with us from February 18 through March 11, 2023.

This exhibit is open to the public during Saturdays at the Station from 10:00 – 2:00 p.m. every Saturday.
