Evangelina Jimenez is the latest guest on “Meet the Artist,” the podcast from Register Star newsroom where we meet the artist who makes our community a more beautiful place.

Jimenez is an acrylic painter and owner of Indigo Nail Lounge, where she makes and paints intricate fingernails. She hosts paint and sip events at 317 Art Collective on Market Street, and she assembles Zodiac-themed jewelry.

Jimenez uses her canvas and bright colors to paint the power of feminine energy.

Social justice advocacy and feminism are strong threads throughout her art and business projects. One big project we discuss in the podcast is her idea of a future women's coworking center in downtown Rockford.
