Inspired by the work of sand painter, Joe Mangrum and Navajo healing rituals, children designed their own sand paintings using concentric circles, organic and geometric forms.

To see Joe’s work, visit his website www.joemangrum.com or find him daily in Union Square or Washington Square Park.

Studio Visit with Grimanesa Amoros

Wow! Grimanesa Amoros: Beauty, Bubbles, Light, Lines & Fun!

Grimanesa Amoros

On my always engaging tour today with Riva Blumenfeld of http://www.blumenfeldfineart.com/.

Mrs. Amoros took the time to take us on a journey through bubble islands, lines of lights and even into Times Square’s installation for the Armory show (Did you see it?)

These pieces made me feel extra serene, relaxed and even tickled somehow!

Now I’m working on a kid-friendy version- So watch our Art Adventures, here comes more fun!

Midtown West Auction winners delight in metal, shape and balance!

What fun we had connecting, balancing and manipulating wire and meta today @ the Met!  As you can see, not only the kids enjoyed… and on my way home, I walked past more bent metal sculptures @ the Hubert Gallery on Madison Avenue… what a treat!  Great job guys and gals!  Have a safe trip back to CO P. & P. and I look forward to more tours with you too B!
