Last summer I took a chance on my designs, creativity, and hope of bringing pride to the Midwest.

It’s been an amazing year making connections in the community, creating art, and finding so much joy in the everyday!

Shoutout to the amazing local businesses who took a chance on me and my designs. I’m excited for what’s to come 👀✨⭐️🌽

Nature is alive! 🌳👀 let’s enjoy the green before it turns!
The weather has been so nice lately in Nebraska so I’ve gone in some more walks. Reminds me of how much beauty is in nature, this wonderful creation. It’s been giving me good feels and connection with the Earth!

What are some of your favorite/best spots to go on a walk in Omaha or NE as a whole?

NEW STOCKING CAPS HAVE ARRIVED!

Nothing says fall in the Midwest like an ope stocking cap. And nothing says spooky season in the Midwest like a skeleton wearing an ope stocking cap. 💀🍂

Dropping on the website soon and available for purchase at all upcoming markets.

“And a soup or salad with that?”
Ummm, yes. 🥣🥗

Who doesn’t love a little fine dining humor?

There are still so many local Midwest restaurants that we need to try! Any recs?? Comment below your favorite soup or salad in Omaha/NE!

Have a great evening!
Modern Market is this Saturday! You can also let me know there 😃 taken in Omaha, Nebraska by @chiara_maximo_

NE. Indeed, it is a place.
It’s so funny when we travel places and people, hearing Nebraska, can’t locate it or mix it up with Alaska.

It’s not that hard to find! Just look straight at the map!

Nebraska is a place, we are here, and there’s so much goodness in this little place. 😃 taken in Omaha, Nebraska by @chiara_maximo_

Nebraska these past couple weeks. 🌧️🌧️🌧️
Fun little illustration of an almost dreamy moment frozen in time. I want to explore more ethereal and dreamlike scenes and this was a first step into that sort of world. 🧠🧐

I’ve been enjoying the rain a little bit. Brings the world around us a different and unique feel, it’s always fun to switch things up sometimes. Let’s see if it switches up soon for that beautiful NE fall weather. 😅🌞

Happy Tuesday, folks! taken in Omaha, Nebraska by @chiara_maximo_
