Here are some of the photos from the Contrast Art Show that took place a week ago at 320 Studios in Manhattan. I sold prints from my set-up as well as from the auction. Thank you and congrats to the new owners. For the first time there was a fashion show presented by Geary Marcello who will be showing his Foxxy Face Clubwear at Mercedes-Benz Fashion week in NYC this upcoming September.

I presented my newest painting "the republic". It is oil, colored pencils, graphite, and acrylic on wood, measuring 31in x 41in. To the left of the painting I had my prints for sale.

good ol' time!

huge inspiration

Often I get asked about my inspirations, about what inspires to me to make the paintings that I do. There is never just one element that make me tick creatively, but I have to say that water is a big one.
Here are some photos of me surfing in New York. Although I am not yet the poster child for Roxy, I love this sport as it is one of the more difficult ones and the most rewarding.

I went out two times that beautiful day, in the morning and then a little later in the afternoon after my chickpea salad breakfast and some sunbathing. The first time I was on my board (6'10", pictured above) and the second time a fellow ocean lover let me borrow their longboard (8', pictured in the "action" pics).

Then in the evening I did some Power Vinyassa yoga. I call that a fulfilling day!

I will be exhibiting my newest painting "the republic" as well as some prints for sale. 

the republic!

It is done! Well, almost. Please excuse the really crappy photo quality (the painting looks a lot better in person with richer colors). I just have to put in some tiny details, such as nail color, etc. Then I can varnish it, which will bring out all the colors that have dried matte. Lastly I will have to scan it, although I am seriously dreading this as the painting is 31in x 41in and the scanner bed is 8.5in x 11in. Wish me patience!

fish taco!

i tried turquoise as a nail color, but it didn't work...
