A New Year

In my house in Puerto Rico, a wood carving of Mary Magdalene by traditional Puerto Rican saint carvers Barbara Díaz and Marta Rodriguez Olmeda.

Hello from Puerto Rico! I have been here a few days, a time I gave myself for thinking, decompressing, earthing, and enjoying the very simple things that life has to offer. Just a few days to remember, create new thoughts and find brief moments of a different silence.

The green that surrounds my house soothes my soul.

Tree planted in honor of my father.

My house, I call it la Casita de la Pintora de la Magdalena. I hope one day I can spend more time here again. For now, just a small vacation this week.

This year, I look forward to continuing drawing, painting and exploring Mary Magdalene from a creative perspective. Maybe not every day as I tried this past year, but when Inspiration comes and ideas need to take shape. But for that, all that’s needed is to make space in our lives for the expression of the soul.
