In Loving Memory
Two days ago I received a call, my grandfather passed away. His stage three cancer was terminal, and he lost the battle. We weren’t really close, but I know he was a good man. A man who worked his whole life, hard and took care of his family. I know my uncle and aunt (his kids) are devastated right now. I haven’t called yet, I know I should.. but I can’t seem to find the words. I’ll find some today.
Last time I saw him, about a month ago. I was bonding with Mari, his wife who was telling about these pictures he took at work. They were gorgeous. I was kinda surprised he had such a good eye, I wanted to frame them, and asked her to send them to me. When he got home I joked around that I probably got some of my creative vision from him. He chuckled and said it was nothing. But it was something.. look at that rainbow, look at that sky… now that is something.
May you live peacefully in the cotton colored clouds, you will be missed.
If you would like to donate towards his medical expenses and/or funeral costs please feel free to bless us HERE
Innocent April Fools
April Fools usually means everyone is pulling pranks on each other. A day at work doesn’t mean we can’t give someone a nice little chuckle. Trying to keep thing work safe, not cruel and simple is a little hard. My coworkers and I gave everyone on Monday morning a little surprise when opening the break room fridge, googly eyes everywhere!
Color Scenes: An All Alpha Female Experience Exhibit
This Friday I had the opportunity to present my work at a small exhibit in Bushwick, Brooklyn. The show was curated by Color Scenes & La Femme Cheri. The exhibit was a collection of 40 talented ladies, all displaying 2 pieces each.
I displayed 2/3 of the “Oracle” pieces I have been working on, and guess what… sold 2/3 pieces.
What a blessing. Pictured above is the proud owner of the small green piece, who now gets to go home happily cared for.
The larger Oracle piece in blue is ready to be shipped to Orlando, Florida. I gotta say, I’m feeling pretty blessed that my babies get owners who appreciate them. If I kept all the pieces I have made thorough out the years, I wouldn’t we be able to walk through my tiny apartment. I have one more “Oracle” piece that’s looking for a new owner, you know how to find me.
