I’ve been active thinking of new projects, designing a new website/blog, and beginning to take my running and yoga practice to the next level.
My mind and body were ready for a little stir up so last week I found myself running at lunch time in Tangled Alphabets: León Ferrari and Mira Schendel at Ernesto [...]
Well, I’m back from a couple of weeks of feeling like everything is happening at the same time. I can happily write that after three months of having “not so great” runs I’m slowly making some progress.
It was during one of those tough runs when my attitude changed. I decided to give myself the chance [...]
Everything looks so green around the neighborhood. It’s nice to see the new planted trees on Smith Street and the Greenmarket back. I like to eat something healthy before I go for a run so this week I decided to make homemade granola bars.
I went to Sahadi’s to get the nuts and dried fruit. Most [...]
One of my goals this week was to go back to my usual five-day-a-week workout routine. I’m happy to say that I managed to do it. Movement is my way of staying positive and dealing with challenging situations. It also influences my work.

While I walked the bridge, I saw lots of runners, [...]

A while ago, my friend Margie, an awesome athlete, cook, and nutrition expert, recommended me to read the book Real Food by Nina Planck. One of my favorite things to do is to cook simple and fresh food, and I find so many similarities between cooking and working out an idea in the studio.
I’m [...]
I’m currently writing about how important it was for me to create and stick to a wellness plan. I must say, it was a challenge as an artist because we tend to think about our work more than our health. While doing a bit of research, I came across this article in the New York [...]
As artists, I hope that these difficult financial times make us approach our work differently. That our studio time becomes full of fresh ideas and endless experimentation without feeling the pressure of sales.
But most importantly, I hope that we as people understand the need around us and dedicate some time to help others in [...]
