Speechless and grateful. And speechless!

This week left me speechless and grateful. For the first time in years, I stepped back from showing at an art fair to enjoy Miami Art Week from the other side, while still supporting JDR Atelier at Booth 903. We took a much-needed Thanksgiving break in the Bahamas, where the kindness of friends and the reality of life’s unexpected turns reminded me of what truly matters: love, family, resilience, and showing up with grace.

Unchained Mothering continues to grow — from new press features to our upcoming AR experience at the steps of the Art Basel Convention Center. With Giving Tuesday approaching on December 2nd, your support means everything as we honor mothers’ invisible contributions through art.

As Art Basel Week begins and my birthday approaches, I’m choosing gratitude, strength, and togetherness. Wishing everyone a meaningful week — especially all the artists and gallerists working tirelessly right now.

A whirlwind across Cali, Nevada, Give Miami Week, a surprise school switch, and a heart full of gratitude.
Conclusion? People make everything possible.
Life moves fast — but love, intention, and community keep us steady.
More soon… Basel is calling. 💛

Eighteen and Everything in Between — Happy Birthday, My Jaimie

Happy 18th, ma fille.
As women, we must carve out space for our dreams, ambitions, and goals — while still giving our all to those we love.

This year, I had to learn to let go… while also showing you that I would drop anything to be there. Choices were made, sometimes hard ones — but always with love.

Happy birthday — I can’t wait to celebrate you in person. Je t’aime always 🪬
Maman

These Past 7 Days: From Shelters to Skylines, Plenitude and the Invisible Thread of Time By Jessica de Vreeze

happy 4th of July, celebrate and protect Freedom. In just one week, my family and I journeyed from shelters—and the beaches—of Israel to the skylines of Miami, passing through Jordan, Dubai, Paris, and NYC. We left with heavy hearts and returned reinforced and grateful, full of love, and resilience.

I share what it meant to walk across the Jordanian border under missile fire, to look my children in the eyes and tell them the truth—when we were safe, and when we weren’t—but we were bitachon-emmunah_to reflect on the invisible labor of women, and to hold hope for peace in a region that deserves to grow, not just rebuild.
