This week I did something new and I'm over the moon excited about it - I went to a drawing class on St Thomas!!! It feels as though I was an artist in a past life since it has been a lifetime since I've made any art.
Amy Gibbs has opened a studio space called The Art Explorium on St Thomas where she offers classes and workshops for both children and adults. Next week a visiting artist is teaching a hand building clay class that should be a lot of fun.
I'm excited to have something new to do on our little island that is creative with a wonderful group of people!

Ok, I know this is really random for me to post, but I just can't help it! What do you think? When I was in NJ the family took us all out to lunch in a little town (I can't remember what it was called) I was so taken by the little sweaters that where made for the trees and signs along the sidewalk.

I was blown away the first time I saw these photos by Andreas Franke. This collection of photographs are displayed on the walls of a sunken ship off the coast of Florida 145 feet under the sea. Would you dare to go see it?

 I'm just loving Gina Feddersen's Isola Bella Collection that is created from her inspiration of the beauty and nature of the US Virgin Islands. Don't you just love her work? I'm so impressed that she is able to create in so many different mediums effortlessly. Check out all the amazing gifts and home goods that are on Isola Bella site HERE and Gina's paintings and ceramic art HERE. Hope you find her work as inspiring as I do!

 The Museum on Modern Art has a show open until April 29, 2013 called 'The Shaping of New Visions: Photography, Film, Photobook' that looks promising.


The Whitney has a show called 'Yayoi Kusama's Fireflies on the Water' that is open until October 28, 2012. I actually saw this installation once at the Whitney with a group show so it will be amazing to see it again: last time you walked out on a small platform so that you where in the middle of a mirrored room and the floor was all water, it looked a lot like the photo above.


I once lived near the Metropolitan Museum of Art and never once made it to their roof garden. Currently they have a show on the roof garden called 'Cloud City,' by Tomas Saraceno that is an interactive site-specific installation.

Have you seen a gallery show recently that you loved and would recommend taking the time to visit?

Photographs by Aleksandr Munaev.

There is always music playing in my home and I'm always in need of new tunes. So, I'm really excited that Norah Jones has released her new album called 'Little Broken Hearts.' Have you heard it yet? NPR has her entire album here. Let me know what you think.

I love these prints by a young Finnish Designer group called Season One. 
I can't help wonder if I'd feel more creative by sleeping with one of these pillows below my head.

Looking for something fun to do tonight? Seven Minus Seven is having a gallery opening at 7 pm this evening and Eric and I are going to check it out. Our friend Devin will have some art hanging on the walls and said there will be a great band playing, sounds promising!!  It's been since NYC that I've been to a gallery opening so I'm really excited to see this show.  

Old San Juan had some great graffiti.
Are you a fan or do you think it's just disrespectful?
