Sometime last year, I saw this sad almost crying somalian woman in blue as I looked into the peephole of my door one evening. I cannot tell her story because it was half-baked. I realized many of the refugees I have encountered won't tell their past or even the fact that they were a refugee before. They have moved on with their lives and would be happy to talk about the present and the future.

On a saturday morning....
This is a handpainted shirt design for my ex-husband. Yes, for my ex-husband. We've been in good speaking terms since we separated. It was a part of the healing process that we have both decided since then. It is my birthday gift for him and this painting is called-- The reconstruction of H waterlife. This is the first of a project idea.
Sudden change of topic--I can't wait to see Cate Blanchett in all the movies she has finished and are in production especially that one of Bob Dylan movie. I am a big fan.

Momentum
I just added this new image.
Never confuse motion with action. ---Benjamin Franklin
The most important thing you can do to achieve your goals is to make sure that as soon as you set them, you immediately begin to create momentum. ---Anthony Robbins
Sometimes being pushed to the wall gives you the momentum necessary to get over it! ---Peter de Jager

alphabets (one more time)
I cannot help it-I am inspired to make another illustration. This time it is my signature name. It's not that I don't like my real name-in fact-it makes me remember my mother because she is the only one in my family who call me Marissa. My siblings, relatives, friends calls me Marie-and I also like being called Marie. Over here, they call me Maria. I decided to sign Isay in all my drawings and paintings because it is shorter and I like writing the letter y with upward curve at the end. One of my colleague in the hospital I worked before- gave me that nickname. It's kinda cute and firm everytime she called my name. And I said to myself"uhmmm I like the sound of it".
The images on the right side are some of my acrylic paintings that I hope to show in an exhibition in which the question would be when? I don't want to say as usual, everything seem like "hanging" in my situation right now. But, to be honest with all of you, I am having some problems and it is hard to focus. And yet, I know that the right time will follow and by then, I'll be able to have time for my own website and I can work fulltime.
