It’s🎄in October! I’m dropping this collection on November 15th, and I’m fully enjoying painting them in the meantime.. 🇵🇷 ⁣ ⁣ #christiancreative #artforinteriors #puertoricochristmas #calirican #tropicaldecor #puertorico #hawaii #caribbeanart #christmasartcountdown #figurativeartist #oilpainting #puertoricoholic #puertoricolife #bombapuertoriqueña #colorfulart #etsygifts #christmasinpuertorico (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGD_q7ihBsn/?igshid=u8m8xsurh71f

Sunday; my self designated “Me” day. I’ve been slowing down. Doing what I can within each 10 hour workday. Shifting my personal needs back onto the same plane as my business needs. The height of the Covid quarantine brought me an explosion of business I wasn’t prepared for so early in the year. Somewhere along the line I prioritized fulfilling orders while I put myself on the back burner. Yes, rent needs to be paid & I still have to eat. But it’s still a fast way to lose sight of why I do this work = burnout. Gently easing back into prioritizing adequate sleep, my off-season weightlifting goals, daily runs, spending time on mountain tops, feet in the dirt, lying in the grass. Desert visits. ⁣ This work is a lot. I spend a lot of time thinking about what I can offer you as an appreciation. Here’s a snippet of something very affordable I’m launching on November 15. Stay here & stay tuned. 🤟🏾 ⁣ #christiancreative #artforinteriors #calirican #tropicaldecor #puertorico #hawaii #caribbeanart #oiloncanvas #figurativeartist #oilpainting #puertoricolife #puertoricochristmas #bombapuertoriqueña #colorfulart #etsygifts (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF8KJL4hpqU/?igshid=fzyphwqg4c1d

It’s #SmallBusinessSaturday again! ⠀ ⠀ I no longer participate in Black Friday, it doesn’t align with my values and my brand — at ALL.⠀ ⠀ What I do support are small businesses.⠀ Entrepreneurs.⠀ Art/Artist Collectives.⠀ Brick & Mortars birthed from grit & perseverance. ⠀ Arts Education.⠀ Any business/entity operating from integrity.⠀ ⠀ I’m so grateful — every single day (my gratitude has nothing to do with the season) for the collectors, clients, clients who’ve become new friends, supporters, those who share my work, send private notes and messages sharing their hearts concealings’ about how my work has impacted them, the naysayers, the unsupportive, the absent family members and those who observe from a distance. ⠀ ⠀ Everyone and everything serves a purpose. ⠀ I’m fueled by it all and I appreciate it all.⠀ Which is why I’m offering a huge “thank you” sale. ❤️⠀ ⠀ If you’re on my mailing list you saw these images earlier today announcing my Small Biz Saturday sale. Discount codes and clickable links for gicleé art prints, photo prints, ceramic art & taino wall decor can all be found in the LINK IN MY BIO until the sale ends on 12/2/2019 at 11:59pm PST. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #Godisgood #artstudio #calirican #puertorico #caribbean #blackart #puertoricoarte #caribbeanart #tradicionboricua #vejigante #ponce #loiza #oilpainting #homedecor #artgallery #curator #artrealism #arte #tropical #artcollector #bombapuertoriqueña #figuerativeart #artistsoninstsgram (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5g2E7bBL7T/?igshid=s60s2t80gvyv

This little vejigante is now available for purchase, I’m letting it dry before I give it a nice, light gloss oil varnish in the next day or two. ⠀ ⠀ Did you know that most, of not all Caribbean islands share many of the same cultural traditions? Whether it’s the spanish, english or french speaking Caribbean — all countries share common artistic, culinary, musical, social and political (ALL have been colonized) traditions — except ONE; the Vejigante. The Vejigante is a cultural expression that is specifically singular to Puerto Rico.⠀ ⠀ If you know why, feel free to chime in below. I know for a fact I’m not the only one out there obsessed with history... 😉⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #Godisgood #artstudio #calirican #puertorico #puertoricoarte #caribbeanart #tradicionboricua #vejigante #ponce #loiza #oilpainting #artrealism #arte #tropical #bombapuertoriqueña #figuerativeart #artistsoninstsgram #artcurators (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5WgviahpeF/?igshid=1xh6ayfqk95mt
