I've known Johnny for some time now, and our relationship goes beyond mere acquaintance—there's a genuine bond and mutual respect rooted in our shared values. Johnny’s dedication to his vision and the spirit he brings to his work have always resonated with me, and being in attendance of his showcase was an honor.
The closing exhibition at Basin Gallery on August 15th was an extraordinary milestone for me as an emerging artist. Being showcased alongside esteemed artists Cey Adams and Craig Anthony Miller (CAM) was a profound experience. The reception from the audience was overwhelmingly supportive, and I felt a deep sense of connection with the new viewers who embraced my work wholeheartedly.
Being on Luckytime Explosion at Solas Studio with Brandon Wisecarver and Morgan Jesse Lapin was a total game-changer for me, ya know? It was a legit defining moment in my career, being able to chat about my journey, my art, and what keeps me inspired.
Last month, fellow Morgan Jesse Lapin, Daze, Ralphy, and I set up shop for a pop-up in Brooklyn, kickstarting the first "May•Hem" event. It's a grind, man, not just about lookin' cool, but about the light we bring into this world.
During my visit to CAM's studio in DUMBO before his event with bespoke furniture company Mark Jupiter, Mari J and I had the opportunity to witness the seamless collaboration between them.

It was during our collaboration, that Marley honestly impressed me with his attention to detail, guiding me through a beneficial upper back stretching routine that I truly appreciated. As Marley's brand transcends the gym to virtual sessions, the call for merchandise has become deafening. Over a span of 4-6 weeks, we meticulously crafted a remarkable logo that embodies the essence of his brand, that is “Inner strength (RED) and the Love of Oneself (YELLOW)”. In hopes to generate widespread recognition and anticipation.
May 30th, I attended the opening of "Soft Bodies" at Skye Gallery in Chelsea with my fellow artist and part-time bestie Gianna Tesone. Hailing from Denver, each artist united to bring their creations to our fast-paced City, aiming to add a touch of warmth to our stone-cold lives.
Nahhhh I Had the MOST amazing experience at the Landmark Art Gallery checking out Luca Goly accompanied by Mia showcasing his talent! It was truly invigorating to feel slightly overwhelmed by the presence of other notable artists like Reid Stowe & Wife Maxine Hoover, DIG, and Miriam Portilla. Their energies motivated and inspired me in ways I didn't expect. Witnessing art from diverse corners of the globe was a surreal experience - especially the authentic connection between Miriam from Mexico and Josh Zweig from the Bust Gallery, as well as DIG's impeccable sense of style both on the canvas and in person.
On this episode in the Modaverse, I had the pleasure of teaming up with DJ Selectress Iriela, and Event Coordinator Mirella Bajaña BKA Azuca (aka Zu Zu) for a Studio 54 inspired disco bash powered by Second World Productions & Fusicology in the heart of NYC. It’s no secret, TOGETHER, WE ARE THE HEARTBEAT OF THE CITY

As a seasoned painter diving into the realm of AI art, I was pleasantly surprised by the creative synergy between technology and MY artistic vision. Embracing this new medium led me to embark on a whimsical journey. So, in celebration of Women's History, culminating in a captivating series where I re-envisioned myself as the exquisite 'Mrs. Moda'!
Reuniting with Old Art Crew in the Big Apple
Ah, New York! The Empire State! What a night it was, stepping back into the art world and reuniting with the OG crew at Ian Sullivan's solo exhibition, "The Kids Alright," in Brooklyn Navy Yard. I mean, talk about a blast from the past - Ian and I used to tear it up in Soho back in '17 (YOU REMEMBER THE FAITH CONNEXION DAYS!)
Walking into that exhibit, the vibes were all love, baby. The place was buzzing with creativity and inspiration, just like the good ol' days. And let me tell you about Eshama, that wild and magnetic photographer with his quirky aura - always the been a beacon of light to me! Prolly one of the FEW people to really SEE me, feel me?
Major shouts to Tyler Jordan and the Art Department for putting this shindig together. And let's not forget Scrapyard NYC and Mezcal for keeping the drinks flowing and the good times rolling. It was a night to remember, back in the mix with the art fam, celebrating Ian's talent and soaking in the electric energy of NYC. Can't wait to see what the future holds for US ALL!
