I began a major spring cleaning at home and how perfect is to read about the current exhibition Color Moves: Art & Fashion by Sonia Delaunay at Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum. A quick look around the apartment makes me laugh. There is art, color and toys everywhere! I definitely love to use color in [...]

I’m glad to be back after a couple of weeks of too much happening at the same time. Here are some new discoveries that kept me balanced during busy days.
To begin a yoga practice at home, I got the podcast Jason Crandell. Each practice is twenty minutes and Crandell is such an excellent teacher. The [...]
Spring flow,
Spring glow,
just typing the word spring makes me smile.
We’ve been having glorious days filled with beautiful colors and sun. The weather always inspires me to choose what to experiment with in the kitchen. I have two new favorites: quinoa and kale. Cooking them is simple, their benefits are plenty and they taste great.
I [...]
Finding of the week:
Everything feels so new in the spring. My curious boy has been showing me the world from a new perspective. This weekend, we spent long hours with friends, playing in the park, and looking at fresh bits of color — trees, magnolias, daffodils. Very refreshing!
The beautiful sun has inspired me to introduce him to the [...]

What a pleasant surprise I received yesterday when Erin Loechner from Design for Mankind is an award-winning blog dedicated to showcasing the talents of the emerging art and design community. They receive over 11,000 visits per day (wow!) which makes them great hosts. I encourage all to take some time to look, read, subscribe and [...]
The snow was beautiful last week, until I had to push a stroller with a 20-pound boy around Brooklyn. I don’t need to use the rowing machine at the gym for a while… Today there is snow falling again! I can’t wait to see those colorful flowers glowing around the tree trunks.
The last couple [...]
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 [...]
I meant to post earlier this week, but it’s been busy with lots of changes. Change is hard, but at the same time, it feels amazing when we add an infusion of fresh flavors, colors and textures to our routines.
While browsing the Food Issue of the latest Sustenance. She is also the leader of [...]
It’s been some time since I last ran so I’m slowly adding short runs to my morning walks. It feels great to see and notice the little things while running. There is so much visual information around us that running has become part of my art practice.
To honor Earth Day (April 22), I thought of [...]
This week, I went to my yoga class for the first time after giving birth. It felt great to be back. While in triangle pose, I thought of how important is to find time to do what moves us and makes us flourish. The best is when we slowly notice that the bloom inside of [...]
It’s been already three weeks since Mateo arrived and I’ve enjoyed every second of it. As an artist, I want Mateo to be surrounded by creativity everyday. I listened to music during my pregnancy and music seems to be one of his favorite things. He already has an iTunes playlist! Here are some of the [...]
Although it’s snowing in New York, today is the first day of spring. The spring is my favorite season. It’s the symbol of new beginnings. It’s when everything turns green, when days become longer, and the sun feels stronger. I’m beginning to find time to go for walks until my body is ready to run [...]
