We also made Murakami inspired projects in honor of Mother’s Day. Take a look:

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

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!
