Simply be yourself, as if, it was possible, at least bite into it!
We are constantly told to work harder, trust the process, stay consistent, manifest our dreams, or simply let go. But what if success, fulfillment, and personal growth require both effort and surrender? A reflection on perseverance, trust, achievement, and finding our own path.
As May comes to a close, I reflect on two lessons that kept returning: don’t wait for perfection, and don’t be afraid to tell your story. Between being a mom of three, an artist, observing Shabbat, navigating family spread across continents, and building new projects, this month reminded me that progress, rest, courage, gratitude, and letting go all have their place.
Summary
Complaining.
Comparing.
Feeling.
And ultimately — trusting.
Because in a single week, life can hold everything —
what breaks the heart, what limits us, what lifts us, what finally comes through.
Life holds a portrait —
sometimes visible to all,
sometimes only to oneself.
And somewhere between what is seen, what is felt, and what is understood,
we are simply learning… to trust that things unfold as they should —
and that it is also in our hands to choose to trust,
and to make it for the better.
From planes to galleries, school runs to solo shows, and Amsterdam to Miami to Las Vegas — a behind-the-scenes glimpse into life in motion. Between art, motherhood, community work, and personal growth, this post celebrates the beautiful chaos, the invisible reality behind creative success, and the courage it takes to trust your path while juggling ambition, family, and heart. 🤍✈️🎨
A week lived at full speed—long days, full responsibility, and the need to pause and recover—unfolds alongside major professional milestones and a world in turmoil. This reflection moves between the intimate and the global, celebrating resilience, faith, and quiet courage, while embracing the idea that growth, like art and life, takes time, care, and patience.
Gratefulness and giving forward are my two reminders of the week
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.
We often act out of fear of missing out or not doing enough — chasing every opportunity before it disappears. But sometimes the greatest strength lies in choosing differently: letting go, trusting timing, and finding peace in doing what truly matters.
Amid chaos, love and perspective lead the way — and this week, 3 milestones: my husband ran the Berlin Marathon and completed the 6 majors, an article was published and my work Keep on Dancing enters the Coral Gables Museum’s permanent collection.
Wishing you all a happy Labor Day if in the USA! A certain feel of Sunday for us! For allContinue Reading
