West Elm + St. Jude

This is the heart I created for West Elm to help them build the world's longest heart paper chain! They'll donate the chain to St. Jude Children's Hospital for Valentine's Day. 

Want to create your own heart? Just drop by any US West Elm store on Feb. 11th between 6pm-8pm & make it there!  Mine was inspired by fashion & then I added some gold glitter to give it some sparkle! You can tweet or instagram yours with #shareyourhearts .

Artist Against Hate Event

I was so honored to be part of the Anti-Defamation League's PREMIER ART EXHIBITION event this year! I painted the piece especially for this event - themed 'A World Without Hate' - the painting was auctioned off to a lucky bidder (don't know who won yet).  

The piece got a lot of great compliments - so I was truly grateful! My ART along with the others will be available to view for the next 3 days June 6th-9th at the Benrimon Gallery here in NYC! Exciting! 

All the artists involved :
