With Seattle Art Fair coming back around, it’s the perfect time to reflect on some favorites from last year. Here’s a piece by Derrick Velasquez presented by @robischongallery (at Seattle, Washington)

If you created a world you could thrive in, what would that look like? A sentiment that leads me to @arcosantiarizona “a careful, thoughtful approach to planning, building and daily life that is experientially rich and materially frugal.” ・・・ Photo by @jessicamenda (at Arcosanti, Arizona)

Design experience courtesy of @amina_maya for her newly developed brand @naturalisteapothecary . Amina walks us through the entire experience, from origin of the line to the online experience at her BFA show. Fun fact: the logo outline featured on her products is actually a line-drawing of her gracious Mom! Visit her Thursday @seattleartmuseum for “My Favorite Things” where she’ll be leading a tour through the museum. See more below: “My Favorite Things tours bring some of the most opinionated and fascinating artists, cultural producers, and community figures into the galleries to discuss their favorite works of art. This week's tour will be led by Amina Maya. THU MAY 3 2018 SEATTLE ART MUSEUM THIRD FLOOR GALLERIES 6:30 PM – 7 PM” (at Seattle, Washington)

Design and product as part of the @naturalisteapothecary birthed by @amina_maya shown with careful execution and a well-developed ideas of revisiting self-care in modern culture and uplifting native practice. Peep her background below: “Amina Maya is a designer and photographer whose work centers around documenting and celebrating the beauty of the African diaspora. With roots in both Sierra Leone and the United States, Amina draws upon the imagery, color, and patterns that define West African art as well as the rich, evolving art culture of Black America.” (at Seattle, Washington)

Closing one chapter and on to the next, @amina_maya created a visual, sensual, and artistic experience as her BFA showcase, graduating from @cornishcollegeofthearts . Shown here is her brand @naturalisteapothecary that is grounded in rituals of self-care and honoring generational knowledge and practices, but with a modern edge. Shot, styled, designed, and created by Amina, she’s a powerhouse to be reckoned with. (at Seattle, Washington)
