Ernesto Klar, Artist

Hello all, I have to share this day with you. I met today a Venezuelan artist called Ernesto Klar. He is a media artist. He has an opening on the 15th of December at 3LD ART AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER 80 Greenwich Street. 1212 645-0374. I had to shoot him for a magazine in Venezuela called Todo en Domingo. I really enjoyed his company for the hour and a half that we walked around the industrial parts of Greenpoint in Brooklyn. Here are a couple of images. Enjoy and come join the show on the 15th. Bring the kids it is an interactive installation with lights!

PEA KEBABS!

Have you ever had a little bit of struggle for your kids to get veggies???? I have the perfect solution for you. This was posted in the New York Times about two months ago, in an article about making food fun for kids. So I sent them my pea kebabs and they got a spot in the 12 image slideshow! Maia loves these! She thinks its fun to eat so she'll eat about 7 of these on one sitting. DON'T FORGET TO CUT THE POINTY PART OF THE TOOTHPICK!

MORE MIAMI!

This is my beauty...

Maia loves the sand

My husband took this image. She just brightens my life.

Is this not the most romantic moment you have ever seen?

Miami!

Sorry I haven't written in a while, we were on vacation in beautiful warm Miami. As an artist I find it important to go see the Art fairs that come to NYC like SCOPE, The Armory, Pinta, Art Asia etc etc. But there is nothing like Art Basel, unless you go to Basel and see the one there which we did once and it was amazing! This year we flew to Miami especially for the Art shows. The convention Center turns into a massive art exhibition, with 240 different galleries from all around the world that come to show us what is happening in the art world. We found out also that going to such a big art fair is not so easy with a child especially when she sees that everybody else in the area is walking and she's not. I wonder why children don't think it is actually very nice to get strolled around and not have to walk everywhere. What better than that? I guess for them walking.  Here are some pics I took with my Iphone of Maia playing with an interactive piece at Basel Miami, and my husband chilling.

Also we went to the opening party of the newest restaurant on N. Miami Avenue owned by my sister in Law who makes the best ceviche in the planet called ATELIER 88, the real opening is on the 16th. It will be a restaurant and catering business! She is a super chef. Good Luck!

THE PACIFIER RULE.

I have thought that sometimes adults need a pacifier too. I sometimes need to think before I speak my mind, so I decided to implement the pacifier rule. When someone you love has something to say that might start a discussion, you can do a shout out! " Pacifier!!!!!" that person is obliged to be quiet think and then react to what you did or what they want to say. I find it a very soothing thing to do. I can actually have the time to think and then act, or react. This avoids fights. Let me know how it goes!

A LITTLE SMILE FROM MY SOUL

Last night I banged my foot really hard on the bed, I was crying and as I cleaned my tears on my shirt this smily face was painted.  It even had dimples! I loved it, it was like a reasurance from my soul that I was going to be fine. It really hurt.!
