With Samhain slowly approaching I’ve been planning my Samhain celebration and something that has become a tradition in my practice is enjoying a delicious cup of apple cider with the spirits of those who’ve passed. 

Nothing beats homemade apple cider, but let’s be honest we don’t all have the time, money or energy to make homemade cider. So to add convenience to your upcoming Samhain celebration here are some fun, delicious ways to customize your store bought apple cider.

[here’s a video on how to make your own apple cider too]

HUSH’s “Remix” at Corey Helford Gallery.

Currently on view at Corey Helford Gallery in Los Angeles, California is artist HUSH’s solo exhibition of staggering new works entitled “Remix.”

“HUSH’s unique style,” says Corey Helford Gallery, “is recognizable through its focus on the female form set within backgrounds filled with an expressionist’s freedom of layering and color. The serene balance of traditional painting is combined with a messier passion, influenced by the Western traditions of action painting and graffiti, culminating in a harmony that feels surprisingly natural.”

“Remix” will be on view until November 25th, 2017 and should be sought out if in the area.
