The Art Basel Round Up!

Yeah...I'm late on this but I really wanted to sit down and create a proper post about what a fab weekend I had with the Art Hive Magazine team at Art Basel so...better late that never!

It's us...the Basel crew, minus Andy 'cause he took the pic.

This time at Art Basel was EXTRA special because this year Art Hive Magazine was actually IN the convention center.  Like...for real IN it!
 
Our first trip to Art Basel in 2012 I told Jess to hold up a pic of the magazine so that I could take a picture.  We all said, 'one day Art Hive will be at Art Basel.'

Hey guess what? It totally happened!

Here is a link to a post I wrote about that first trip to Basel, waaaay back;

Pic before we hopped on the Brightline and began the journey down to Miami. Oh, and I LOVE THE BRIGHTLINE...and these fun #ShadesOfCulture courtesy of the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County.

And it goes without saying that part of my weekend included making time for my ART.  I am cursed with the inability to sleep in no matter how late the night before was...so yup, sunrise at the beach and working poolside was my on daily agenda. 

South Beach morning...gorgeous!

Ya'll- we stayed in a REALY FANCY hotel. Like...it was fancy. The rooftop pool was probably my favorite spot for making art...and that was also where Jess and Angela threw an impromptu Art Hive party...with Pharrell playing down on the beach below. (that last part wasn't part of the Art Hive party but we still had the best view of the show!)

Coffee, art, pool and an ocean view. I could get used to this.

The hotel had THREE pools! I only made it to two of them, but this one had an infinity pool and I found a cool floating platform in the pool to sit on. Started the piece there and then finished it in the room on our balcony while Marcela did everyone's makeup.

​And of course... DIY accessories!

If you know me then you know that I LOVE JEWELRY AND ACCESSORIES!   I love putting together looks...and for anything art-related I try to add a little more personalization  by creating my own accessories if I have time- or even if I don't have time.  (who needs sleep, right?) I wanted to make sure that I was helping to promote Art Hive Magazine the whole weekend so I created a series of earrings made from pages in past issues. 

And that's it-
that is my Art Basel round-up!  


​​Thank you Jess and Angela for an AMAZING weekend in Miami for Art Basel 2018! It was a truly memorable weekend!

I am so proud to be a part of the Art Hive Magazine team!
