I’m having so much fun learning to use procreate I’m having so much fun learning to use procreate & draw #mandalas in @catcoq ‘s Procreate for Beginners class! . . This is one of the designs I made in real-time. Loved intuitively picking the colors & going back to my Indian roots for inspo on the shapes from henna patterns. . . #intuitivedesign #consciouscreators #videoart #videogram #iloveart #procreate #skillshare #myartwork #worldofart #artinspo #passioncolorjoy #colorcrushcreative #createeveryday #newartwork #drawingisfun #artgram #worldofartists #sandiegoart #livecreatively #showyourwork #wearethemakers #designcolor #patterndesign #colorinspiration #colorpop #queenofcolor
Yesterday I was the victim of some unacceptable “drive-by” #racism. I’ve called San Diego home since 1998, and I’ve never experienced hate speech or racism while living here…and never thought I’d have to until yesterday. . . I was visiting Swami’s beach in #encinitas as I have many times before. It’s one of my favorite places to take a break, sit on the benches & watch the ocean. The parking lot was full, so I parked my car on the street along HWY 101. As I was walking back to the parking lot, this shirtless sunburned older white guy, pulled up next to me on his bike & aggressively shouted “Sand n**ger! Indian n**ger!” . . When you’re a female walking alone you’re constantly evaluating your safety, like should I respond & put myself in danger? Or should I run away? I responded with a loud “F*CK OFF!” to let him know what he said wasn’t OK, to which he responded by shouting an onslaught of racial & homophobic slurs while riding off on his bike. . . I’ve never had a stranger come up to me with such hate-filled energy and words because of my race. Swami’s is one of my fave places & I don’t feel safe visiting there now. I believe he targeted me —it’s hard to tell my exact race from walking behind me, so he must have seen me coming from the opposite way & turned around so he could harass me with racial slurs. . . I’m writing this now because: 1) this guy looked like a local. If you’re a Swami’s visitor or Encinitas resident I hope you’ll keep an eye out for this guy. It happened too fast for me to snap a photo or video. I wish someone would have been nearby to stand up for me. If you see this happening I hope you’ll put a stop to it & reclaim Swami’s as a racist free zone. 2) I wanted to warn all the people of color who visit Swami’s about this. I never thought I’d experience this in San Diego, let alone Encinitas which is one of the most high-vibe diverse places in the city. 3) Minorities & people of color all over the U.S.  experience unprovoked aggressions like this all the time. If you see this behavior, I hope you will stop it. If you’re a visitor of #swamisbeach or an Encinitas resident please reshare this post.
Had so much fun indulging my inner artist today at Had so much fun indulging my inner artist today at the @hopecodesigns workshop at the @sdmademarkets at @theforumcarlsbad ! (If you can’t tell by my paint covered hands in this photo) 😂🎨🖌🖌 . . . Today was one of those days where I woke up late and everything was going wrong, I almost didn’t go. I’m so glad I went! It’s so satisfying to play with color 🌈 & I am all calm & relaxed now. 🧘‍♀️ . . . #sandiegoartists #createeveryday #artinspo #artinspires #artgram #creativeart #iloveart #passioncolorjoy #sandiegomakers #artlife #makersgonnamake #sandiegoart #makersmovement #colorinspo #colorinspiration #magicalcolors #bossladyartist #shophandmade #womenmakers #smallbusiness #smallbusinesssandiego
