CHICAGO ART INSTITUTE by Quinlan Kyp-Johnson
Quinlan Kyp-Johnson's grandfather, Robert Kyp, invented and is currently the only manufacturer in the world of these carbon filament lightbulbs, which illuminate the entrance way to the Art Institute in Chicago. They've been used in Martha Stewart's magazines and featured in the movie Batman Forever. Quinlan's grandfather is currently 88 and still works daily in his small factory in Deland, Florida. Quinlan calls him "an amazing man" and is "proud to be his granddaughter."

Quinlan is a manual-driving, African dance-loving 22 year-old from Glen Ellyn, Illinois. She lives in Glen Ellyn with her two adopted dogs - a Basset Hound and a Lab mix that was saved from Hurricane Katrina. She has shown her work at local cafes and festivals and is currently working on a documentary about her grandfather.
