You recently relocated from Miami to new York. How is the New York experience so far?
It is hard. It is different but I like it. I noticed there is something going on between New York and Miami. Everyone that is doing stuff in New York is somehow connected to Miami. So I am over there and I am constantly seeing Miami people.
You are the curator for the upcoming group show “The Outsiders”. Why...

November Art Walk
Last Saturday it was time again for the Miami Art Walk and since it was the last one before Art Basel Miami Beach I was quite excited to see what the galleries were showing. The Art Walk of course has become somewhat of a cultural phenomenon and people come out to socialize and have a good time. To some the art walk is about art and to some it is about free wine and beer, food trucks, being seen,...

"American People, Black Light - Faith Ringgold's...
The Miami Art Museum is currently home to a very special exhibit - “American People, Black Light - Faith Ringgold’s Paintings of the 1960s”.
I would be lying if I said I had ever heard of Faith Ringgold before October’s Wynwood Art Fair, when I participated in the painting of a quilt. Faith Ringgold is known as the progenitor of the African American story quilt revival.
I was also unaware that...

"Liberation" by Andre Leon Gray at Carol Jazzar...
When I arrived at the Carol Jazzar Gallery I didn’t know quite what to expect as I had never been to the gallery before. I was pleasantly surprised, to say the least, as Carol Jazzar approaches things her way by showing the art in her house. The gallery/home makes for art viewings in a very intimate setting that makes one feel, well, at home! Her personal art collection including Jen Stark and...

Wynwood Art Fair
Last weekend I found my path through Alvaro Ilizarbe’s black and white maze, ate too many of FriendsWithYou’s delicious cupcakes, got a hug from a Hug Machine, looked on as Primary Projects artists Franky Cruz, Jessy Nite and Gustavo Oviendo created original artworks before my very eyes, and bought a blazer with a poem sewn into it (“Even the sun-clouds this morning cannot manage such skirts” -...
