InkBlots: A blotted pattern of spilled ink Saturday, June 4th. 1-3:30 p.m. Huntington Free Library 9 Westchester Square, Bronx, NY “InkBlots” give me the freedom to doodle on top of random ink stains, letting my hand draw free over the colors, creating different shapes, faces and monsters. No censure. No regrets. Every mistake will be revamped and will create a work of art. Now I want you to experience, imagine, and create your own inkblots. Use the random stains to stimulate your senses, forget what is right or wrong, everyone can enjoy and make art. This workshop is possible thanks to The Bronx Council on the Arts. It is back by popular demand... and I am celebrating my birthday!!

Twenty people attended creating beautiful paintings. For some people it was their first time painting, for some others it was a fun way to socialize.
I believe everyone has an artist inside, you just need a little help to explore it and bring it to the surface. Stop being afraid of the blank canvas, go ahead and draw the first line... in my classes I won't give you a color-in paper, you will create your own sketch that will become a beautiful painting. All the funds we collect from these events go to support BxArts Factory Community Engagement Summer Activities as well as Bring Art to Every Household programming in the Fall! This summer we will be participating in 4 summer events! These events are: 1. Longwood Art Festival - June 4th 2. Boogie on the Boulevard - Last Sundays on May, June, July and August 3.

I have been busy lately doing what I like to do. During the winter it is easier to stay inside, and I really like introducing adults into the awesome world of creating art.
Partnering with Wonderfully Made, an organization that empowers families to raise socially and emotionally healthy children to foster positive and meaningful relationships at home and in a school setting; we created a free workshop for parents to spend the night on their own. Sometimes taking the time for yourself is not easy with children around. We shared a magical night creating Ink-Blots and sharing stories. We started a series Bringing Art Into My Life will continue with similar events soon. I also lead the Paint the Night Away event with BxArts Factory, where a group of adults replicated a painting I designed specially for that night. I really enjoyed teaching them about color mixing and empowering their creativity to take over their fears of "Am I doing it wrong?" I will be teaching more of those events soon. Subscribe to my newsletter so I can keep you posted!! Saturday, February 13th, from 6 to 9 p.m. at The Bronx Documentary Center (614 Courtlandt Avenue (@ 151st St.) Bronx, New York 10451) I will be hosting a painting class, where you can come to learn how to recreate my LoveBirds piece.
We will provide all the materials and some hours d'oeuvre, you bring the drinks (beer or wine). Come with your partner, your friend, or on your own to meet other great people and network! Get your tickets HERE and get ready for an mazing night filled with love and friendship. A while ago I painted a mural with the children of the Melrose community during Bronx Music @ Melrose: Salsa! organized by WhEDCO and The Bronx Music Heritage. The mural is located at Elton and Brook Ave in The Bronx. It took us a little while to put it up, but it's finally there for everyone to see!!
The Bronx Band will be playing happily at their location until the new Bronx Music Heritage Center is built. |
