FAQ
Are the artworks original?
Yes. Each piece is a one-of-one collaborative work created by mother and son.
What materials are used in the artwork?
The works are created on easel paper using a wide range of materials, including finger paint, watercolors, tempera paint sticks, colorful paper tape, crayons, markers, stickers and gems.
As layers build over time, the surfaces naturally develop texture and depth.
How are the artworks created?
The pieces are made on a large wall in our Brooklyn home studio through an open-ended process led by play.
Sheets of paper are mounted side by side and we move across them together using stools to reach the corners. Paint brushes, markers and sponges pass freely between us as we work.
Santi and I create with movement, responding to color, instinct and each other.
How long does it take to make a piece?
Each work develops in its own time. Pieces often hang on our art wall for weeks, allowing us to return to them again and again.
With each visit we add new layers, marks and materials. By the time a piece is finished, it reflects a true collaboration between Santi and me.

You can read more on the Education Fund page.

Will my artwork include documentation?
