Welcome. I am Janice Aponte, a Chicago-based visual artist and founder of AponteArt Gallery. My work moves between portraiture and evocative landscapes, guided by intuition, texture, and vibrant expression. While deeply inspired by my Puerto Rican heritage, my art explores universal themes of identity, emotion, and human connection. Inspired by my cultural roots yet not confined by them, my art explores identity, emotion and the human spirit. Through both my work and my gallery, I create spaces where art speaks, stories unfold, and community comes together.

​Thank you for visiting my website and if you are in Chicago please stop by the Gallery located in Jefferson Park @ 5504 W Lawrence ave. By Appointment contact 773.750.3003.
