Hayley Shaw
In the chaos and grunge, there’s beauty in confronting what we often ignore. The rough edges, the uneven textures, the gritty surfaces we can cling to when we need a solid grip.

Chicago-based artist Hayley Shaw channels the raw, gritty energy of urban life into unapologetically unpolished mixed-media works. Rejecting clean lines and traditional beauty, her art incorporates distressed textures, muted tones, and chaotic elements like chipped paint, torn photos, weathered graphics, coffee grounds, Himalayan salt, frayed denim, and bleach-streaked patterns. Influenced by graffiti and industrial decay, Shaw's bold abstractions explore themes of disruption and authenticity.
