Baby me in my “studio” circa 2014 🥹!! I’v Baby me in my “studio” circa 2014 🥹!! I’ve been thinking about her a lot these days. You may notice the stack of sketchbooks and magazines piled up behind me. And the glaringly close proximity of my bed to my bedroom door 😆. I lived in this room from 2010-2014. I would regularly rotate the contents of my desk to my duvet everyday in order to have the space to paint and create.

If you are like me, then you are probably the type of person who is constantly pushing the needle for yourself; new goals in new stratospheres. There is never time to waste. But as I currently work on my 8th(‼️) US visa renewal to live in this country, while simultaneously producing work for 6 ongoing projects, I have to stop and appreciate how far the 2014 version of me has come. 

I might not have all the status symbols to show for myself that normally come with my age bracket. But I’ve done a damn good job of keeping a business alive and thriving on my own, in a country I do not belong to, and that’s gotta be good for something, right?! I guess the moral here is don’t be afraid to tell yourself that you are doing great, sweetie! Because you are and so am I.

I love you all, xx MM

I can’t tell you how long I’ve been dreaming o I can’t tell you how long I’ve been dreaming of this exact partnership coming to fruition 🥹. From the moment I first hit publish on my pipe-dream blog “Travel Write Draw” as an illustration student at FIT in 2010, this is what I have always hoped for. It feels so surreal to see my travel x fashion creations turned into wearable art. I’m just so darn excited and proud that the @TravelWriteDraw x @HotSoxCo collab is finally out in the world!! THANK YOU, once again, for all of your kind words of support and purchases. I’m so extraordinarily grateful 😭.

All my love, xx MM

Touched down in NYC and headed straight to see “ Touched down in NYC and headed straight to see “Alex Katz: Gathering” @Guggenheim 😎. I’ll never forget the first time I saw his work when I was just 15 yrs old and studying art history in high school. Unmistakably flat with such crisp articulation; it was impossible to enter his portraits. I was transfixed. My sister brought me back a postcard of his painting “Red Coat” after a school trip to the MoMA that year. It was around that time I promised myself I would one day move to NYC to become an artist just like him 🥹❤️. Two decades later, here I am!

I took two really key takeaways from this remarkable retrospective: 1. When Abstract Expressionism was the style du jour, he held strong to his “unfashionable” figurative paintings. 2. By the time he became famous and beloved for his portraiture in the 80’s, he pivoted towards rendering light in nature. As an artist, we so often feel the pressure to conform to the preferred style of the time, or fear evolving once we’ve become known for something. I love that he simply DID NOT CARE whether he swung in or out of critical favor. Talk about honoring your truth, am I right?!

The show is on till February 20th and I cannot recommend it enough!! Run, don’t walk, bbs!!

All my love, xx MM
And just like that, I’M BACK IN NEW YORK 🥹🗽🫶🏼!! My pilot took the scenic route yesterday; from the Statue of Liberty to Arthur Ashe Stadium. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful return to my adopted home of 13.5 yrs. Hot damn that’s a long time 😆. After spending many months away in the second half of 2022, I’m ready to get to WORK in the studio. Commissions, collabs, and personal pieces are all kicking off this week, with my word of the year guiding the way. Any guesses what it is? Do any of you pick a word of the year too?! I’d love to know!!

All my love, xx MM

The enormous privilege of pursuing my dream, every The enormous privilege of pursuing my dream, every single day since September 2014, is not, nor will it ever be, lost on me. And though it would be nice to post an entirely new work of art today for the new year, there’s something to be said for appreciating what already exists 🥰. 

One of THE most amazing collectors of my art (and all around incredible human beings) purchased this piece above on the last day of 2022 🥹🖼️💫. My original “Roman Holiday” painting. It felt like a beautiful omen as we transitioned, within hours, into ✨2023✨!! 

Those of you who watched my stories that day, witnessed me on the brink of tears; choking on my words of gratitude for this incredible community. Year after year, you show your support for me. It’s hard to put into words just HOW thankful I am. What a tremendous honor to share this life with you all.

All my love, xx MM
“Top 10 of 2022” ✨ Otherwise known as the ye “Top 10 of 2022” ✨ Otherwise known as the year that cracked me open, forced me to choose myself, and walk bravely away from all the things that no longer serve my higher self 💥. And guess what?! It turned out to be one of my greatest years YET!! It’s safe to say, 2023 has some big ASS shoes to fill 😆. Here are the things I’m most proud of and grateful for this year, in no particular order: 

1. Hand-painting 5 travel inspired basketballs and interviewing THE legendary Grant Hill on behalf of @MarriottBonvoy ⭐️

2. Being named “HOTTEST ILLUSTRATOR” of the year by @LUX.LifestyleMagazine and painting live at their “2022 Hot List” launch party ⭐️

3. Having my @Dogwood.Hill holiday stationery collection featured in @People Mag, @VerandaMag, and the @TodayShow ⭐️

4. Returning to travel in a BIG way with 4.5 months in London, 2 trips to Morocco, and my 1st trips ever to Sicily, Dublin, and Anguilla ⭐️

5. Launching new product licensing categories with @JulieTurkelBrands, including @JiggyPuzzles, towels with @Geometry.House, and prints with @ArtSugar.co ⭐️

6. Being commissioned by @BelmondCapJuluca to illustrate from their LVMH Workshop weekend AND create art for their 2023 marketing assets ⭐️

7. Collaborating with the wonderful @LancomeOfficial team again to create their Holiday 2022 card design and dinner menu borders ⭐️

8. Finally hosting my group trip to Morocco with @ModernAdventurists after two years of dreaming and it being one of my greatest career moments to date ⭐️

9. Working once again with the St. Regis brand to design and illustrate “The Astor Chalet” logo for @StRegisATL ⭐️

10. Lastly, and most personally, the greatest triumph was walking away from so many negative patterns and people, only to rise above more happy and at peace than ever ⭐️

If you’ve made it this far, bless your heart!! None of the above would mean ANYTHING if I didn’t have our gorgeous community to share it with 😭. I’ve said it before but it still remains true, wherever we go from here, we go together!! I genuinely CANNOT WAIT to see what 2023 has in store for us!! Thank you 1,000,000 times over for everything and HAPPY NEW YEAR, DARLINGS 🥳🎉!!

All my love, xx MM
