In the center of Mid-Market's noisy, funky Luggage Store Gallery, a wiry Asian American woman wearing a silk vest, tie, ball cap and glasses sits on a bench calling out, "Bye, Carl, bye, sweetheart, good to meet your friend. Oh, bye, honey. Oh, another artist. We're all artists here. We're all friends, I swear." At 63, with a waist-long ponytail and big-toothed smile that make her appear closer to 20, Lenore Chinn is amiably comfortable at this reception and in her own skin. Perhaps the only thing she's not comfortable with is simplistic categories.
"So many people try to pigeonhole you," she says. "But you can't say I'm going to be gay this day and Asian American another. You don't split it up."
