Half house, half garden—Hollyhock House feels welcoming not only to people but animals too. Thankfully, this bird quickly flew back outside after stopping for a moment to perch on and admire Ravi GuneWardena’s ikebana work 🪻

A toast, in retrospect, to the opening dinner party for Sarah Rosalena’s layer by layer. To the collectors, curators, artists, and friends who filled the room with intelligence, generosity, and joy. These are the evenings that remind us why we built this gallery.

My dear friend, Ricardo Reyes, Chicano artist, educator, activist, sent me this photograph from 2018 at the opening for “The Art of Protest: 50 Years of Activism” at the Church of the Epiphany in Lincoln Heights; the birthplace of the Chicano Movement and the headquarters for the UFW and Cesar Chavez. It was an honor to be asked to co-curate the exhibit, as the only female on the team a testament to El Movimiento working as one into the 21st Century and today needed more than ever! ✊🏼 Y… Si se puede!

An art exhibition exploring dualities through visual art, perfume and music, “Plateaus: Art That Resonates” is a multidisciplinary journey of art and craft, death and life, grief and love, and activity and stillness. This experience of bonded contrasts, sensorially reminds us that polarities are intrinsic and intertwined partners.
