Art Basel & Wynwood Arts District | MIAMI, FLORIDA

I would say this to any artist: 'Don't be repressed in your work, dare to experiment, consider any urge, if in a new direction all the better.' Photographer, Edward Weston

Having spent all of last weekend visiting the galleries and exhibitions that were a part of Art | Basel, the annual international art show here in Miami, I came away feeling deeply inspired. Hundreds of artists and their thousands of artworks, all in three days- now that's a seriously humbling and introspective experience. It's encountering new and international art that encourages us to explore new concepts, color palettes, compositions, ways to see and even live. I left with a mind full of ideas, a heart full of spirit and over a hundred iPhone polaroids. Here's a little taste of the many works that were on view from such diverse artists as Shephard Fairey, Agnus Martin, Kehinde Wiley, Man Ray, Ged Quinn, Arnold Newman, Miguel Paredes, Jean Arp, and of course my favorites Robert Rauschenberg and Edward Weston.

Moving out of our old place at 1600 Meridian Ave this past week brought along that mixed bag of emotions from excitement to nostalgia. That cozy little house full of quarks and character brought us through a pretty amazing first year and a half here on the beach. Once we emptied out our possessions and packaged up happy memories, I walked through photographing the same details I snapped the first day we went to visit it. Funny how time passes, right?

Here we are, a week later and very happily nestled into our new sanctuary. Once we've filled it in and made it all our own, I will be posting images to share!

In art school, we're taught to understand, respect and practice the 'elements of art', which are defined as: line, shape, form, space, texture, value and color. This week's polaroids were an exploration of those combined elements... Miami Beach style.
