As a broke of college art-school student, here is my guide to save most of your money in Silver Spring, MD! You start off with your classes at the Cafritz center! After a long day of classes and drawing, you get a little hungry right? Here are your options - 711: Instant ramen, mini beef tacos, some chips and water; fine dining wouldn't you say? The Big Greek Cafe: They sell fresh Gyro's for only 5$ on Wednesdays! Kaldi's Cafe: Your main caffeine supply, if you get to know the baristas you might get lucky and get an extra espresso shot in your cappuccino. (shoutout Casen and Kathy) Fortunately for me I use to work at the Starbucks in the corner, so I occasionally get free food. Usually don't go there cause it's kind of a walk from school. (shoutout ash and rein) Or maybe you're ready to purchase some overpriced art supplies? Head over the Plaza Art Store and preemptively apologize to your wallet. (The people at Plaza are actually great staff that do their best to give you the best discounts, shoutout to Theo) Library is a pretty nice place to study; lots of window. Planet fitness, cause fitness is great. and that's about it

Lockdown! Inspired by the Hitchcock film 'Rear Window', with the Plague Doctor hovering over us all.

It's set in a video game where you earn points by collecting objects and defeating monsters, and to win you need to reach your virus-free home.

Working from isolation has definitely changed the way I use technology in a big way. Before, my day revolved around my students, the bells, my classes. Now it seems (almost) everything I do is connected to a different piece of technology. I wake up, eat, teach, work out, plan, and talk to others with a different device. But in the middle of my day, if I'm lucky, I get a little time to disconnect, unwind, and relax.

An ode to all the graduates of 2020 who aren't able to have a traditional ceremony due to covid-19. This piece depicts the importance of technology during this time from zoom to emails to texts and shows how we are able to stay connected despite not being able to be physically together.

We were wearing down the treads of our shoes and psyches from walking in our neighborhood. A recent social media post about a labyrinth from a friend forced us to change - or escape - our scenery. We took our shoes and our psyches on a trek to find the mythical labyrinth. We found it on our third trip to the park. Three is a charm.

My life living in locked-down London during the Corona-virus. The Central London area is geographically accurate, but I have sculpted the letters “London” into it. Conversely, the roads, and my journey are not accurately depicted - merely illustrated (where I shop will remain my secret!)

During the COVID19 crisis, many say they are 'bored' and they don't have enough to do. Here is a map of my day. No bored moments for me :). This is the Boardgame of my Life.

Confined to my small city apartment, my studio is where I am spending most of my days during our Shelter at Home order. Every nook is filled with art supplies and works in progress!

Seeing parts of the world from home

This map is a personal project reflecting on how my world has become reduced to these little boxes of space, but this map acts as a reminder to what we can do to try to stay calm and find moments of peace during lockdown life.

This map shows my hood and my favourite places around it.

Pune, also called Poona, city, west-central Maharashtra state, western India, at the junction of the Mula and Mutha rivers. Called “Queen of the Deccan,” Pune is the cultural capital of the Maratha peoples. The city first gained importance as the capital of the Bhonsle Marathas in the 17th century. It was temporarily captured by the Mughals but again served as the official Maratha capital from 1714 until its fall to the British in 1817. Pune has long been a major educational and cultural centre. Pune is known for its educational tourism and has a blend of cultural, business, health, cuisine tourism background. The large student population in the city makes for a lively nightlife and vibrant atmosphere. Pune also houses fantastic restaurants, good museums, and hill forts which offer panoramic views. Pune is a gateway to knowledge about the past with opportunities to learn from the help of forts, monuments, museums and higher-learning institutions.

This has to be the longest trip I've ever done! Going from Nicaragua to Australia is quite a long way. My flight plan was initially to go from Managua to Dallas for a 1 night stop-over before heading to Australia. But 12 hours before departure I was notified that the flight was cancelled and that I had to find another way to get to Dallas... That can be challenging when you're in Nicaragua! I managed to get the airline to find me another flight as I had already booked another plane ticket from Dallas to Sydney the next day and they finally booked me on a flight to Miami and then from there to Dallas! The entire trip took me from Managua, to Miami, to Dallas, to Los Angeles and to Sydney and lasted 3 days! You can't imagine how happy I was to finally land and enjoy the sound of the cockatoos and to stroll along the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk.
