Where Art, Motherhood, and Trust Meet

Sunday, February 8, 2026.

And I’m not forgetting my weekly post 🤍

What a whirlwind these past three weeks have been…

Since January 21:

Amsterdam → back to Miami → finishing preparations for two solo shows —

one in Miami at Miami International Fine Arts,

one in Las Vegas at Arts After Dark Gallery —

and then… back to Miami again.

Surreal.

Beautiful.

Intense.

Because life does not wait.

In between:

doctor appointments, dentist visits,

three kids,

Ruby and her needs 🐕,

lack of sleep (and I’m not complaining),

socks still not sorted,

and the reminder that no matter how busy life is outside the home,

as a mom, our children always need us —

no matter their age. (And honestly… I still need my parents too.)

Every time I step away for work,

I see everything that is lacking at home,

everything waiting for my attention —

independently of how much my work also needs me.

Yet I can’t always postpone my professional commitments.

And I can’t put my children’s needs on hold either.

So I navigate this constant dance —

holding space for both.

Ah… this balancing act.

So much of Unchained Mothering lives right here 🤍

and all the little things patiently waiting for our attention.

At the same time:

a group show in New Jersey celebrating Jewish artists (opened January 29),

the AR exhibition for Unchained Mothering in Miami,

future projects unfolding…

while constantly reminding myself to stay present in the present.

And here I am, writing this from a plane ✈️

somewhere between places, thoughts, and gratitude.

At MIFA, my solo show is in Gallery B,

surrounded by incredibly talented artists in the other galleries and in residency.

A place curated with care, vision, and energy.

So grateful to Marco, the MIFA board, and the entire team 🤍

At Arts After Dark, same spirit:

my solo show,

extraordinary talent all around,

a fashion show,

artists in residence,

creativity everywhere.

Grateful to Nivia and her wonderful team 🤍

Two spaces.

Two cities.

Two sides of the same journey.

Both booming with life.

None of this happens alone.

I’m grateful.

Inspired.

Grounded.

I have grown. I know where I stand.

It’s been almost ten years since I started my artistic journey —

from my first solo show in NYC in May 2016,

with no formal art background,

only my legal career, my love for art,

and the courage to embrace publicly the artist I had always been.

From that leap of faith

to countless exhibitions,

iconic art fairs and galleries,

and now museum recognition —

along with so many lessons learned.

Good experiences, challenges, and growth,

when we choose to see everything as an opportunity to learn.

Still learning to balance wishes and presence,

movement and stillness,

dreams and everyday life.

Learning to follow my intuition more.

To trust in a higher power.

To let go of debilitating insecurities —

those voices that only slow us down

and waste our energy and time.

And to deepen my appreciation

for what we already have.

And choosing — again and again —

to show up with love, intention, and trust.

Wishing you a beautiful end of the weekend

and a wonderful start to the week.

Enjoy the moment 🤍

A great thank you to my better half! Sharing the journey, supporting me! Mountain climbing together BH!

And a great thank you to Sonya and Howard that makes LV more than special !

With gratitude, love, and light,
