About the Artist

Coolee is where Soul meets Style

Born and raised in Chicago, Coolee’s artistic roots run deep—shaped by city rhythm, a love of vintage, and a design aesthetic that fuses urban Afro energy with mid-century modern cool. What started with sketchbooks and model cars has grown into a multi-medium journey, crafting soulful, one-of-a-kind pieces that honor the past while speaking boldly to the now.

From shimmering stained-glass portals and fused glass accents to jewelry made from upcycled antique flatware, dichroic glass, and hand-selected gemstones, every creation carries intention and a story. Coolee works in wood, oil paint, glass, and found treasures—each material chosen not just for its beauty, but for its vibe.

He believes in the power of energy—what you give is what comes back. That principle shapes his work, especially in jewelry, where crystal pairings are chosen with care to connect wearers to nature, healing, and their own story.

His lifestyle mirrors his art: he drives a vintage 1964 Buick Riviera and a 1966 Chevy C10 Pickup, surrounds himself with custom woodwork, and curates mid-century gems in his vintage shop section. Whether it’s a statement piece or a quiet charm, Coolee’s designs are made to elevate, resonate, and connect.
