South Florida Art SEEN: TM Sisters Curate Show in Ft Lauderdale



Recently, the Girls' Club enlisted Monica and Natasha Lopez de Victoria – the Miami artist team commonly known as the TM Sisters – to guest curate at the contemporary gallery in Ft Lauderdale.

Here are a few of my images of the opening night of "I Think It's In My Head." 


The show began at twilight. That blue. I KNOW!

Like a kid that's seemingly more amused by the box than the actual gift, I was having fun taking photos of the stairs. 


I think it's time for pizza.
An art show curated by true artists! Congrats to the TM sisters and everyone involved. I look forward to spending more time at the Girls' Club of Ft Lauderdale!

A Day Off: Dreamy Moments in the Magic City

Last night I took the opportunity to take a break from editing to attend the "Repeated Marks" art show in Miami. I had never been to the 6th Street Container Gallery, but knew through friends it was a must.

But first, a stop in The Grove to visit with Maite and Tony (Pocket of Lollipops) for pizza, a cafecito, and a chance to play with their bunnies. They had just gotten a new one that I hadn't met yet.
The "Pocket of Lollipops" living room.



New bunny in town...

"...Houndstooth."
So I didn't take too many pictures at the art show. I was too busy enjoying the art and the scenery! A beautiful courtyard with creeping vines dangling over Italian style strung lights provided a lovely ambiance for the evening.

Easily the most ethereal pizza party I've ever been to.

The artists.

Many congratulations to the FIU graduate artists of the Repeated Marks show!
