I have been working on an exciting collaboration with Starbucks for over a year, and can finally announce the big news! This is my first big merchandising deal, and it’s so exciting.
We created 5 products in this Chicago collection in the theme of generational empowerment: a jean jacket, ceramic tumbler, sketchbook, tote bag, and fine art print.
I wanted to create a collection that was special, and embodied my love of Chicago. One of my fondest memories growing up was our family bike rides with dad along The Lake. I incorporated that feeling into the collection of art for this project. I have to say, working with Starbucks was such a wonderful experience.
I am pleased to invite my friends and followers to our first artist meet ‘n greet this Sunday. These products are available at the downtown Roastery location only, and for a limited time!

Award winning Chicago visual artist Martha A. Wade portrays culture and history in a positive light through dreamlike paintings and themes of whimsy, fantasy, and hope. Generational Empowerment, her artwork for the Starbucks Reserve Roastery Chicago, incorporates art from a collaboration with her father and seeks to uplift, displaying a tapestry of everyday people on a common ground where all are empowered.
