Special Exhibit: A Walk Down Owlberry Lane

Won't you please join us for a stroll down to the fantastic world of Owlberry Lane?

We are excited to host a collection of new works by Owlberry Lane (Heather Hyatt), beginning Saturday, October 1st! We've had our eye on Heather's beautiful works for the last couple years and can't wait to share her fantastic creations with you!

Owlberry Lane is an old, moss-covered cobblestone street deep in the emerald forest. It is said that once an ancient tribe of elflings lived there, but it has been long since abandoned. Currently, it is home to the Owlberries, Baby Chonk, and many other (mostly) friendly monster creatures that sneak about the shadows of the forest living out their magical, but mostly silly, monster lives. All inhabitants of Owlberry Lane are hand-sculpted, painted, with custom made glass eyes and even among limited edition sets, are one of a kind.  

A Walk Down Owlberry Lane
October 1-November 6, 2022
Open Daily 10am-6pm

View in person at Rotofugi, 2780 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago or online at gallery.rotofugi.com (after the exhibit opens).

For first opportunity to purchase online, please visit previews.rotofugi.com to sign up for our Gallery Previews email list.



About the Artist

Formally trained with a bachelor's degree in both graphic design and studio art, Heather Hyatt (aka Owlberry Lane) has been an artist for over twenty years. For a decade, she was an award-winning graphic designer in the corporate sector before turning her focus to her studio art side.

Owlberry Lane focuses on her love of traditional hand sculpting and art fantasy figures. It was originally inspired by her love of fantasy, which she has had since a child. She has been able to share this same love with her children and it has only grown exponentially.

About the Artist

Joseph Perez, best known as “Sentrock” is a self taught street artist. Sentrock witnessed street art as a form of expression, birthing his interest to pick a spray can and continue his artistic voice. His early works were developed from graffiti writing in Mexican-American neighborhoods. Sentrock’s signature bird-mask over a human figure has become his most recognizable declaration.  Sentrock describes his bird-mask as analogous to humanity: a person who is able to find or escape to their freedom by placing them in a different reality. Through his work, he has become a catalyst for his community. His work presents undertones of hope, freedom and expression. His work encapsulates his background, history, upbringing, empathy, and compassion for his community.


September/October Exhibit: Nellie Le

Back in March 2020 we had the distinct pleasure of hosting the first solo exhibit of works by LA-based artist and illustrator Nellie Le. Unfortunately, Nellie also had the distinct displeasure of being the first exhibit we've ever hosted where we weren't able to allow folks in to view the exhibit in person (thanks Covid).


We promised then to have Nellie back, and we're making good on that promise now! Come see the adorable and affordable stylings of Nellie Le at our Chicago gallery starting Saturday, September 17th!

August/September Exhibit: Vivian Le

Join us in welcoming back Chicago-based artist Vivian Le for her second solo exhibit in our gallery! We couldn't be more excited to share these new works with you.

Her striking imagery, primarily children and dolls, hits hard. Seeking to explore her "fascination with how history and contemporary media continue to portray children in art as romantic symbols," Le creates a world that is fascinating and, at times, horrifying but always beautiful.
