Studio visit recently with local San Diego artist: Marianela de la Hoz

Recently, did a Studio Visit Interview with another local artist here in San Diego, Marianela de la Hoz for Artlarking.

Check out interview here..click

These are a preview of some of her works!

Meeting her left a big impression on me of how amazing to be so disciplined in making paintings with some delicate detail and sacredness. This is what I love about making art. The sacred process of it, understanding the outside world along with my personal inner world....I related a lot to what Marianela was speaking about.

Starting a new series

Been inspired these days, exploring deep within the depths of my soul.

"365 Days of Hush-Hush Project"

365 Days of painting once a day in pure silence with no music or sound in the background.

Sneak Preview:

Day 1

Title: "Collect our Tired Souls"

In an expression of the inexpressible.....

Went to check out this exhibit with my boyfriend. It was an amazing show! I highly recommend those into surrealism to check it out at the Lacma before it ends.

Lately, been keeping productive with personal projects, traveling short trips in between san diego to los angeles, working a whole lot, and keeping my mental well-being balanced. Looking forward to next few months.

Lyrics from one of my favorite songs right now...

"Autumn" by Tes Elations

Why? Because sometimes it doesn't work. Why? Because sometimes it hurts.

Why? Because sometimes it doesn't work. Why? Because somebody ends up hurt.

Autumn doesn't feel the same. Autumn is down and out again. 

Somehow it seemed longer then it was. Somehow it was longer then enough. Someday we will look back and recall. Someday we will cherish our faults.

Autumn doesn't feel the same. Autumn is down and out again.

Why? Because sometimes it doesn't work. Why? Because somebody ends up hurt.

worked on a new sketch today....

  "Burial at Sea" 15"x12" India Ink

As of lately....

exploring themes of death, departure, and spiritual journeys within my body of work

creative pent up energies bursting within, manifesting, diving into the depths of the unknown and parallel to familiar

Re-cap...new year 2012!

Zine sneak preview updates:



I've been withdrawing from the internet, ever so faintly......to a certain degree.....something I should really work on though especially with up-keeping of my many blogs....this one especially....
I've been feeling I need to take a break from constant, instant connection of the interweb....
we're never gonna know everything, there's still so much on the web to check out and learn, so right now I've decided to keep it to a minimal. Too much of an overload on the internet stimulation......

more sketching updates....

in progress - titled: "Ritual before Combat"
