Creating peachy murals for artist, Karla Diaz for her show with Luis de Jesus Gallery and interviewing her for HYPE A. Love with Saint Valentine, My big 4-0 birthday month, HYPE A launches Season 6 and Frieze Art Fair, LA begins. Interesting how Frieze started off in Regent’s Park, London my birth place and local park. Now in LA, it’s also around the corner from where I am staying in Santa Monica. Excited to announce I will be participating with Frieze in conjunction with 18th Street Art Center, Open Studio, March 3rd 2-5 pm. If you are in town, check out my studio practice, check-in but don’t be weird.

A big month overall. Life is blooming, Spring is just around the corner and we are all feeling a bit more hopeful. Watch/Listen/Follow along to the February-mental health ASMR video with Yoga + Tarot to feel more grounded during this seasonal change.

Tone of the month/s:

February = IX of Potions. A Wish fulfilment. Watching your alchol intake. Drinking more water.

March = V The Hierophant. A commitment. Doing things by the book. Religion, connecting with tribe who carry the same ethics. Seeking a trustworthy mentor, coach, teacher, guru. They show up. A relationship is solidified. Traditions. A big month for Venus ruled signs: Taurus, Libra and exaltations in Pisces. Being conventional, traditional, old fashioned while still being you.
