Meet the Team
A couple of friends and creatives kicking ass and bringing some much-needed culture to Arlington Heights
Donna Marie
DM is an Alaskan-raised, Filipina, personal development enthusiast that loves to write and create memorable experiences for others. She’s never met an idea she didn’t love. When she’s not at The Empty Corner you’ll probably find her thrifting, outdoors hiking/climbing, or eating dark chocolate.
Conrad Weres
Conrad is our resident cocktail geek, on top of being a photographer and videographer with a curious mind for all people, places, and things. Conrad helped develop The Empty Corner with Liz with a strong desire to explore their hidden passions in the arts and humanities.
Liz Schrenk
Liz Schrenk is our founder, a photographer with a big heart and an entrepreneurial spirit. Liz developed The Empty Corner to bring our community together in the name of culture and creativity.
Kasia Wasilewski
Kasia is our Gallery Manager and Curator. Constantly trying out new mediums and ways to express herself, she has an appreciation for creativity and expressing ones self. Kasia focuses on creating relationships with local artists, finding unique pieces and people to include in our space!
