Gallery Mondays: Chelsea Guitars
A couple of weeks ago, I walked past Chelsea Guitars and saw this awesome sculpture of a woman sitting outside the shop with a mini guitar in hand. It took me a while to realize this woman is Marilyn Monroe. Boy, I’m slow sometimes! Marilyn Monoe is wearing her infamous white dress from Seven Year Itch,…

Gallery Mondays: “Knickerbocker Ave” by Ryan Peltier
If NYC had an underground Halloween/macabre dance party, I think it would definitely look like Ryan Peltier’s “Knickerbocker Ave”. Especially if this underground party took place at a Brooklyn subway stop. “Knickerbocker Ave” is one of those subway art cards I can’t stop staring at. Whenever I look at it, I notice something more and more…

Gallery Mondays: Agoraphobic Gallery
As a Google Maps Local Guide, I was invited to visit Agoraphobic Gallery over on 39 Spring Street in NYC earlier this month. The gallery was quite interesting, as is the woman behind it, Jacqui Kenny, a.k.a. the Agoraphobic Traveller. Her agoraphobia makes it difficult to travel, so she peruses Google Maps street view as…

Last week I got invited to one of the preview dates for the new National Geographic Encounter: Ocean Odyssey in Times Square and it was amazing. I love animals, and this experience just made me appreciate marine life so much more! My favorite parts of the experience were the kelp forest exhibits. After the maze,…

Gallery Mondays: “Jeweled Toad”
If you’ve seen my accessories collection, you’d know that I LOVE owls. I have an owl ring, several owl necklaces, an owl phone case… The owl obsession is real. So you can imagine back in fall 2015 while I was visiting the Getty Museum in Los Angeles how excited I got when I saw this…

Gallery Mondays: “Crazy From the Heat #2” by Beau LaBute
Happy National Comic Book Day! I really wanted to feature comic book art in honor of National Comic Book Day today, but then I realized I don’t have any in my camera roll. So, the closest piece of art I could dig up that looked similar to comic book art is this ink on paper…

Gallery Mondays: “A Night Out” by Billy
Maybe if I post about fall-related things all week the weather will cool down in time for the first day of autumn on Friday. A few months ago, I came across this really fun apple sculpture while walking through the Meatpacking District in NYC. Called “A Night Out” this ginormous acrylic apple by artist Billy…

Gallery Mondays: Big Bird with Broken Heart
It’s been 16 years since the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001. I almost remember it like it was only a few years ago. I was seven years old sitting in my second grade classroom in Queens, NY when it happened. I couldn’t really understand what was going on but everyone was sent home…

Gallery Mondays: Larregui @ Museo Casa Blanca, PR
During my trip to Puerto Rico, my friends and I visited Casa Blanca, the ancestral home of Juan Ponce de Leon, in Old San Juan. In one of the rooms, there were a few colorful murals on the wall that really stood out to me. This one by Taller Coco de Oro in collaboration with…

Gallery Mondays: Western Tanager by Yu-baba
Over the weekend I came across this beautiful mural in Washington Heights on the iron gate of Marina Dental Center. Painted by Belarusian artist Yu-baba as part of the Audubon Mural Project, the mural features a gorgeous western tanager, an American songbird, surrounded by leaves and berries. In collaboration with Gitler &_____ Gallery, the National Audubon…
