Gigi is a Chicago raconteur and bon vivant who made a living out of going shopping for nearly a decade. She has passionately embraced the internet as her new space to admire, opine about, and share the work of artists and craftspeople she has discovered on the intertube through her site, the roadside scholar.

The roadside scholar is a contemporary art and decor blog featuring the talents of artists and designers worldwide. We are not one-dimensional beings, narrow in our interests and tastes, and there is no better place to reflect this philosophy, emotion and freedom of choice than through art. The dynamic array of media, motifs and styles that Gigi showcases are not only a reflection of her own personal style, but that of her loyal readers too. Gigi honors them, and her own personal passions, by continuously weaving an eclectic tapestry that celebrates the discovery of new collections and the stories of the hands behind them. And oh -- she has a pretty good sense of humor too. :D
