time capsule
I did not play with dolls or other children (just my sisters and my one best friend), I decided that I would spend my time reading books, simply using my imagination, drawing and watching just a bit of tv.

[a homage to the 80s babies]
for the summer, i decided to do something a bit nostalgic with the “spot on” series by revisiting things from the past and creating color palettes as an homage. although, it is still spring, the month of may begins this new theme.
step into the childhood of this 80s baby:

memo: mondays with moma
i was told that there are women who run with the wolves and as a lioness i can relate to the sense of needing to run free and not feel confined. when my mind becomes cluttered or when i seek liberation—art (creating and viewing) + note taking (moleskins are my preferred notebook) are my escapes. yesterday, i roamed in the light pitter-patter of warm raindrops and took a few “me” hours to explore the moma in nyc.
here lies a picturesque memo of that day…
