Instagram post of the my letter by Marta Staudinger of Latela DC (@StopArtYoga and @lateladc)

Last month, Marta Staudinger commissioned me to send thank you letters on her behalf to the many supporters and collaborators of Latela DC, a multi-platform arts and yoga community. When I started brainstorming ideas for her letter to the Art Museum of the Americas (AMA), I remembered the striking image of one of Latela's collaborators (@jabber_walking) doing a tree pose in front of the blue tiles of the AMA during a #StopArtYoga instameet. This instantly became the inspiration for my letter. Coloring the tiles in different tones of watercolor was especially fun.

I am honored that both the AMA and Marta posted the letter on their Instagram accounts. Marta's post with a side-by-side comparison of the original photograph (taken by @ashleysinha) and my interpretation of it is especially cool to see.
