Solo Day in Spain
I wanted to have one day alone. There’s a lot going on in my head and heart and I needed to reflect. I intentionally did not plan anything. I wanted a true adventure - where one step leads to the next. And that’s exactly what happened. I ended up in Toledo - the original capital of Spain. It takes multiple escalators to enter this city. I was blown away by the architecture and views. Jet lagged, I headed back to Madrid around 5. I needed some items so I went shopping - that’s when I ran into a street dancing crew. There were hundreds of people watching and the performers pulled me in to dance with them. It was the most spontaneous and fun thing I have ever done alone in a foreign country. It is hard to describe the joy I felt in that moment.

Color is a focus of my work for a variety of reasons, but the main reason is for healing. My father was an angry and violent man. He took out his rage on his family daily and I took it upon myself to protect my mother and brother from him by becoming the focus of his fury. We didn’t have much, but my mother filled our home with colorful art to bring radiance into an otherwise dark place. I followed in her footsteps and escaped into vibrant art of all shapes and forms. Getting into the flow of mindful art creation has been the single most important part of my healing. I hope to share the happiness that colorful art brings me with others, especially children.
