La Mia Casa

Today I share with you, my humble abode - my live and work space in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.

Above, is where I work on my computer and store most of my paintings and paper products.

My living room, where I store my giant cat.

Yes, Lena has been overeating. I'm under there, somewhere.

That is a Stereo/CD player and I still use it!

My kitchen/studio is one of my favorite spaces. 

It gets plenty of sunshine, which makes me quite happy.

Gustavo Dog Gondolier and his pal, Mick in Venice, Italy.

Below, is the 2nd version of a crustacean inspired, crabby plate design I made for 

last month's MATS bootcamp. You can see the ones I submitted in the gallery.

I like the top version, particularly as a possible fabric pattern. I think I'll start creating more 

multiples, a minimal version along with the more colorful painterly versions, I typically make.

And oh yea, there are still a few of these flower pouches left in my etsy shop - Blip Blop Shop

I've added some new work to my website and rearranged a few things.

Feel free to take a look. I welcome your feedback.

Thanks for stopping by! I always appreciate it.

Lena, looking a little less bloated ;)

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Here is my apartment in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. This is my favorite tree outside my living room. It blossoms each Spring with the most beautiful pink flowers. I don't mind the railroad layout because I like being able to see through to each room. My building is a very old one and looks much better on the inside than the out. I'm sharing these pictures because I look at my apartment as a place to be creative. I have lots of little collectibles and toys (not everyone would consider worthy of keeping ;) that influence my artwork and bring me quite a bit of joy! I took these photos when I had a chance to swap apartments with a couple from Barcelona and wanted to show it in a nice light. I'll share photos from that trip later on. I have many I need to go through 1st. I love that city and hope to visit it many times in the future.
