SOUTH SHORE — A Chicago artist has finished his mural of Michelle Obama in a colorful image that features the former first lady as an Egyptian queen.
The painting by artist Chris Devins was completed Friday on the southeast corner of Chappel Avenue and 74th Street in South Shore. That's two blocks from the former first lady's childhood home at 7436 S. Euclid Ave. and across the street from Bouchet Elementary, which she attended when it was known as Bryn Mawr School.
"I wanted to present her as what I think she is, so she's clothed as an Egyptian queen. I thought that was appropriate," Devins said Friday.
Devins launched a GoFundMe campaign in November to create the mural on the outside of Bouchet School, but the mural was put on an apartment building instead.

Egyptian royalty, famously androgynous.
Fitting. She looks like Ra from Stargate though.
