Art can be very personal-so when another creator sends you a piece to finish, they are actually sending you a little piece of themselves.  That is precisely why, in a project like this FUSE collaboration, it is so important to try and respect your partner's work. 

That brought me to thinking about ALL of the artists who've created throughout history- influencing the generations to come- paving the way for what we do today – our "Art Ancestors" if you will.  And honoring that ancestry seems like a great concept for this FUSE. We each have creativity coursing through our veins- just like Vincent Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo and Jean Michel Basquiat.

Milagros C. Rivera, Maxi Moon, and I each started by choosing an artist we wanted to pay homage to. Milagros picked Frida Kahlo, Maxi chose Vincent Van Gogh, and then there was me- and I selected Jean Michel Basquiat. I began two pieces which were sent to my partners- and a third piece which I completed myself.
 I have to say I was blown away with the interpretations of his work by both Maxi and Milagros. And honored to collaborate with both of these talented ladies.
