Cherry Blossom Rendezvous
The Last of The Winter Fountains
Enjoying one of four large fiberglass domes glow with Jennifer Steinkamp’s dream-like animated video projections before they are taken off of view this week!
PHS Flower Show
Ah, yes. How do you know that springtime is right around the corner? Because the Philadelphia Flower Show is on blossom at the convention center! This years theme was "Wonders of Water", celebrating and exploring the beauty and life-sustaining interplay of horticulture and water. Some of my favorite parts of the show included the juried competitions - especially the one where competitors created a flower display inspired by a painting (see below!) I also enjoyed the live flower competitions too!
Lady Dog Lizard
I seemed to have found my spirit in a painting. Something about the patterns, collage elements and use of color really speaks to my soul! Featured above, "Lady Dog Lizard" by James Rosenquist.
MoMa Rendezvous
In The City
I live in a more "suburban, urban" area and I forget how much of a city girl I am at heart. Yesterday's quick run downtown has inspired me to get out and explore on a whim a bit more. After riding around for just a short period of time, I scouted so many locations that would be great for photo ops! Can't wait to get out and draft a SS17/18 location scout list!

Apple Picking at Linvilla
in Explore, Rendezvous, Style
It's a little late in the apple picking season, but thats okay! Certain apple flavors are still in harvest, we just had to walk out a little further into the orchard to get to them. The weather was beautiful and the day was perfect! Finished off here with some shopping in the farmers market and some apple cider donuts!
Terminal
Subodh Gupta's sculpture "Terminal" makes it well worth a trip to the newly re-opened Freer/Sackler galleries in DC.
"Internationally acclaimed artist Subodh Gupta transforms familiar household objects, such as stainless steel and brass vessels often found in India, into wondrous structures. The Freer|Sackler features the artist’s monumental installation Terminal. Composed of towers of brass containers connected by an intricate web of thread, Terminal converts the readymade into a glimmering landscape. Ranging from one to fifteen feet tall, the spires recall architectural features found on religious structures such as churches, temples, and mosques"
Girls Night Out
Night views at my favorite rooftop...one of the last rooftop nights before the winter season really sets in! Also, just happened to be watching the parkway from this #vantagepoint, during the final showings of Fireflies, a visual installation by artist, Cai Guo-Qiang, commissioned by the Association for Public Art with Fung Collaboratives.
First Day of Fall
Pictured in front of Jeff Koon's "Split Rocker" sculpture at the Glenstone Museum in Potomac, MD. Photos don't do this piece justice - there is so much detail to be seen in person. PS. Photos of myself taken by mother dearest!

XYZT: Abstract Landscapes
"Step into imaginary territory of lines, dots, and letters, and immerse yourself into this virtual playground of four dimensions: X (horizontal), Y (vertical), Z (depth), and T (time)"
Courtesy of Artechouse, "a new age destination for arts, music, film, theater and technology" in DC. The XYZT exhibition was everything that my dreams are made of. I visited twice during the summer - both experiences were equally as rewarding. Located in a cold underground showroom, visiting this exhibit felt like an escape, like going to a whole new world. XYZT was designed by French contemporary digital artists and multimedia choreographers, Adrien M & Claire B.

Day of the Solar Eclipse

A truly transcendental day! Took a swim, had a nice lunch picnic and watched the solar eclipse (through my camera flip screen, of course)
