During the month of December, 2023, I curated a pop-up shop featuring mostly female artists to offer shoppers an intentional and intimate holiday experience, unlike anything currently available in the Bushwick neighborhood. Unlike the plentiful markets and craft fairs which can be overwhelming for the holiday shopper, I wanted to present a carefully curated selection of work by Brooklyn artists, and makers, which showcased jewelry, ceramics, tableware, stationary and paper goods, home decor, florals, candles, sustainable leather wares, and more. You can find more about the featured artists below.

Arilloom products are designed in Brooklyn, and hand crafted by women artisan groups in northern Albania.

Fernanda Uribe
Fernanda Uribe is a visual artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Through her paintings and sculptures she weaves an exploration of her Mexican-Cuban identity as inspired by a deep connection of ancient artifacts, mythologies and nature’s fragile but perfect harmony. Her slow, but thoughtful, technique of hand-sculpting, etching and painting mimic the natural process of metamorphoses and decadence, infusing an omnipresent sense of life into her work.
Antes De Studio
Nina Munoz is a Colombian ceramist who has been working with clay for the past 4 years. Her first exploration involved wild clays, understanding the intricacies of the territory and its materials. Beyond creating mere objects, she is on a mission to breathe life into pieces inspired by the very heartbeat of nature. Currently located in Brooklyn, Nina continues her journey in clay, infusing each piece with the essence of the natural world.

Suna Bonometti’s jewelry is a composition of primary forms carefully assembled to create enduring designs. Bold yet minimal details place sometimes only where the wearer will see the delight in their sophistication and function. Each design is a portal of memories for the one that chooses to wear them. Suna's focus is on making long-lasting objects that will bring joy.
