Brooke Chaney has become an influential teaching artist in Dallas. For her latest project, she’s mentoring a group of high-school students as they contribute...
Chaney has been working as a full-time artist under the moniker “Mom” ever since. It started off as a nickname in college, but when she started making art and helping others foster their own creativity, the name stuck. “Mom is the spirit of who I am,” she said.While her work has drastically transitioned from heady sculptures to more playful, decorative paintings, the spirit at the core of her art has remained the same.
Early in the pandemic, the two decided it was time to open Trade Oak Cliff: an artist co-op that is part studio, part shop and offers regular classes for adults in everything from ceramics to fiber art. Chaney’s found that sharing her skills, experiences and talent has become a vital part of who she is as an artist.Muralist Brooke Chaney who goes by MOM painted a mural at Sylvan and Commerce on an abandoned barber shop.
Chaney was happy to participate, not only because she seeks out opportunities where her art can serve the community in some way, but also because she’s no stranger to mentoring young, aspiring artists.‘Understand your value’: How The Cedars Union’s focus on fair pay empowers Dallas artists “They can see someone who came from the city, who went to a local university, who’s had this experience, and she’s told them her story,” Engelstad said.Brooke Chaney and the students meet in person for the first time at the first floor parking garage of The Galbraith in Downtown Dallas.
