Last Saturday, August 20, 2022, I had my workshop at the @nybg where we painted the food we love and remind us to home and family. Over 50 people stopped by the table, I learned so much about other countries' foods and their traditions. Thank you!

Hello all! We are going through tough times and if you have children home, confined during long periods of time is going to be tougher. I will be posting one coloring page a day until this madness finishes. I take suggestions of what to draw and you can also go through the older drawings I have on my page to download them and have some fun! Stay safe everyone and let's see each other online! Hola a todos! Estamos pasando por tiempos difíciles y si tienes niños en casa, aún peor, porque pasar largos periodos de tiempo sin salir es duro. Voy a poner en mi web un dibujo al dia para descargar gratuitamente. Acepto sugerencias de cosas para dibujar, y también puedes ver los dibujos que ya hay en mi página y bajártelos para ir haciendo camino. Espero que todo el mundo se quede en casa, si hay que salir, con precaución y nos vemos online!
