About Me
My name is Sasha Perez, sometimes signed SKP or One Strange Character, and I’m an artist living in Chicago, IL. I studied painting and printmaking at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where I first fell in love with the city and the gallery world. After working odd jobs, supporting and representing other artists, I started One Strange Character as my personal creative safe haven. Tireless self-reflection, a pinch of humor, and a constant need to learn something new fuel my everyday work. I’m quite honestly still figuring it out, so if you’re reading this, welcome to the ride…
Would ya look at that, it’s a CV…
