My most recent piece was done by NYC legend Grez at Kings Ave, a heron flying across a full moon. My partner calls me her “Luna llena”, full moon, and she inspired me and to take flight in my life.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?It’s a patchwork of my life. Reminders for my grandparents, my teenage love of Brand New, the gypsy on my arm to celebrate wandering through this beautiful world. I like to think there’s a lot of pieces that a lot of different people can identify with, and represents a signal that we are all going through this life together.
What would you do with the $25,000?I am in the process of starting my own private physical therapy practice here in NYC, and this would be a huge help to get my work off the ground!
