POV: your first trip without your soul dog 🄹
James is no longer here, but he taught his brother everything and Gordo is carrying that love by my side. Two amiguitos: one in my heart, one in my arms. šŸ¤
I gave myself one rule for this trip: travel light. 8 pieces of clothing and 2 pairs of shoes for a whole month. A lighter suitcase, a lighter heart.
I basically lived in my set from the airport on makes the kind of pieces that feel like home when you’re far from it…my new favorite set!! Easy-chic šŸ’“
Here’s an invitation to travel light… in our luggage, and in our hearts. āœˆļøšŸ¤ Hasta la vista!

A dog is so much more than companionship.
They are souls who come to awaken us, to teach us how to love without limits, to transform our pain into joy, and to remind us that purity still exists in this world.

Some fulfill that mission with their humans. Others, like Apólito and the dogs of , go even further, bringing comfort to children with cancer in hospitals, accompanying their parents through their hardest moments, offering calm to children with different conditions, and sharing love with elderly people in nursing homes.

Apólito was one of those little angels with fur who came into this plane with a beautiful mission… and today, with his work complete, he has returned to the plane of light.

How much love you planted in just 9 years. How many hearts you touched. How many times, without saying a single word, you managed to heal a small part of someone’s soul.

Vuela alto, big baby šŸ’“
James promised me he won’t show his teeth or hump your leg or tail (that was the only thing he could reach šŸ˜‚). I’m sure OdĆ­n, James, and Manolito are already showing you the best spots to mark in heaven.

What a beautiful gift it was to have known you. Thank you for reminding us that dogs don’t just accompany us… they also come to teach us, to heal us, and to love us.

True little angels on earth… and now, one more shining from heaven šŸ’“ and a big hug to the best doggie mom

A couple weeks ago, I sat on the jury for the Miami Fashion Institute 2026 and I left full. Full of ideas, of conversations with fellow jurors I’ve long admired, and of the kind of raw creative energy you only get from designers building something out of nothing.
To the students, you inspire me. Making a final selection was no easy task. To MFI, thank you for trusting me with a seat at this table.

A special night in support of and the extraordinary work they do for children and families. Watching a room come together with so much generosity and heart was inspiring, and seeing $1.7 million raised in just a few hours was a beautiful reminder of what is possible when people unite for something greater than themselves.

The evening became even more meaningful because it also invited me into a new version of myself. Thank you to the brilliant for encouraging me to step beyond my comfort zone. What began as a dress fitting became something much deeper: a conversation, an exchange of energy, and a reminder of the power we carry when we uplift and support one another.

I wore The Dragonar, a gown inspired by awakening and rebirth. The moment I put it on, I felt strength, confidence, and a side of me I had not fully discovered before. Sometimes fashion is more than what we wear—it becomes a reflection of who we are becoming.

Last night reminded me that women are powerful individually, but unstoppable together. When we support one another, share our gifts, and move with purpose, we create impact far beyond ourselves. Just look at the incredible women behind this event, including and .moskow, turning compassion into action for St. Jude. šŸ’“

Together we are stronger. Together we amplify the good. šŸ¤

He walked in like he owned the place. Because he did.
James wasn’t just my dog. He was my muse, my mirror, my greatest teacher. The one who showed me to open my heart, that presence is everything, and that love doesn’t need words… just a comfy spot next to me while I was painting.
Every illustration in this series is a love letter to him. Mr. Puplisher. The boss. The ruler of our world.
Dogs arrive with a mission!. Allow yourself to open your mind and heart and ask: what is my dog teaching me? I promise you, if you do that, your connection and journey will become so much richer. Even through pain, you no longer see life as before. Dogs are healers. They elevate our consciousness. They are our little gurus šŸ˜šŸ¶ you just need to be open and let them do their magic.
James lives forever in every line, every color, every story I create.
My heart is full. My art is his. šŸ’“šŸ˜

And if you want to carry a little piece of James with you, his art lives on in journals and recipe books, made with all the love he inspired.

James’s mission was fulfilled.šŸ’“

I’m so blessed….He gave me the biggest gift…

I dream of a world where humans see dogs as the angels they are and open their hearts to their beautiful lessons.

My heart will always be grateful to you, , for rescuing him and, without even knowing it, changing our lives. šŸ’“

And there are no words to express my gratitude, Doc .
Your love, care, and support during James’s journey were beyond anything we could have asked for.

Thank you for answering my late texts, for your hope, and for giving us an extra year of love and millions of kisses with our baby. šŸ¤

I’m so proud of our resilient, strong little guy!

My forever puppy šŸ’“

Instagram Takeover by James šŸ‘‘

Top of the morning to you.
James here.

But you can call me King.
Thanks.

Mom paints.
I profit.

I have expensive tastes.
And standards.

Buy the art.
I have a lifestyle to maintain.

Serious dog-loving collectors only.

Live in the now, it’s all we have anyways.
That’s what I do.

That concludes today’s briefing.

If you desire another takeover,
I might consider sharing some of my brother secrets.

Until then.

James šŸ‘‘

I used to feel like I was doing it wrong.
That I don’t know what I’m creating until it’s already made.
Then I realized….that’s not a flaw in my process.
That’s the whole point.
We were never meant to control everything.
We were meant to flow, adapt, and trust what emerges.
This doesn’t just apply to painting.
It applies to how you work. How you love. How you build your life.
The moment you stop needing to know the outcome..
that’s when the magic starts.
That’s when you allow the Universe to do its thing.
What’s the thing that puts YOU in flow? Tell me below šŸ‘‡

Every heart needs a portal.
A way back to the time when all was possible. Dreams and games.
ā€œThe King Of Heartsā€ is a piece I painted with my soul, honestly. This was my first ever big canvas 😱I had to overcome the fear of messing it up.
I did it. And I love it! A lot!!
That feeling of conquering fear is infused in this painting, honoring the King of our hearts: my little James. 🐶
Dimensions 5 feet x 6 feet
Mixed media on canvas
Gold frame not included
DM if you want to bring him home šŸ’“.

I never follow trends, but I’m jumping into this 2016 one because it was such an incredible year. šŸ™‚
We started fostering Gordo (swipe to see the moment I met him), I launched Soulmates Collection, finally met in person after a year of connecting online, discovered that my art was being taught in schools in Uruguay, had the most beautiful dog mom shoot with the person who opened his home to me when I moved to the States, . Got into Sacred Geometry. My friend had an impressive solo show at a museum. James went from only kid to having a brother and becoming And Juanita was still with us šŸ¶šŸ’›
