A note from the artist: Beads & Babes
I remember when I was a kid, I was always so fascinated by markers, pastels, chalk, you name it — basically anything I could colour with. I remember rushing home after school to try and catch the latest Art Attack episode or kids' baking show. I’d try to write down all of the materials/ingredients as fast as I could, so that I could try to re-create whatever they were making. I used to bedazzle all of my school projects and I remember in grade eight, my teacher would often use my artwork as an example for the class. That was always a great feeling. Any opportunity to use my hands to CREATE, excited me beyond measure.
My abuelita on my mom's side was an artist. I'm not sure she ever called herself one, but she absolutely was. When I was young, she used to make these beautiful illustrated cards from scratch that were so intricate and full of texture. I only ever got to see the cards when we went on vacation to visit her in the US and getting to see all the new cards she had made over the year was always one of the highlights of my trip. I remember being so obsessed with the entire process, especially the tools she would use to emboss the cards with. I wanted so badly to learn.
One thing's for sure: being creative is in my blood.
