Cleaning my work-table after completing a painting makes me happy, especially when my orchids are in bloom and I have fresh cut flowers from my backyard garden. 

My Encaustic work table when it was clean, and when I only had one pancake griddle to heat-up my wax, I now have two pancake griddles - one for encaustic paints, and the other one for making my own medium. I shared my steps on how to make encaustic medium on Instagram.

I unwind the past day, starting from now and looking back, moment by moment. I gather in all the goodness and light, in gratitude. I attend to the shadows and what they say to me, praying silently, seeking healing, courage, forgiveness. (From Sacred Space)

My art journal is a place where I try a new technique, practice my handwriting, and to play and experiment without (too much) self-judgement. It is my safe container to express my feelings, thoughts, and fears. It is is a space for questions that may not have answers (those questions then turn into meditative prayers) .

My encaustic palette and tools (when they were new). They never look this clean anymore...

Blue and orange hues are the usual colors on my palette

These are my paint brushes for Acrylic paintings.. after getting them all cleaned... :)

...always makes me happy

I have green thumb like my mother... Thanks Nanay... I love you mom...

All of these design elements give my studio a dreamy ambiance... I often light my candles when I'm reflecting about my past day or about my life in general...

I love dining with friends and family in my studio... 

Enough said... :)

A small peak of my journal page with the word "blessed" which is how I feel about this creative space...
