Here is the lineup of the characters I illustrated for the Bronx Zoo section of the interactive Children’s Game Wall installed at the Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital, in NYU Langone’s new Kimmel Pavilion building in New York City. The project was put together by the awesome team of designers and developers at Potion Design, and it […]

Happy to post that this drawing, called “Rush Hour in Amsterdam,” is featured in the December issue of Lonely Planet magazine, with a short interview about my trip to Amsterdam in the summer of 2014. Lovely city; lovely people. Check out the article if you get the chance! Posted by Veronica

One of the joys of my life is that I am a step-mother to three wonderful young women, and a step-grandma to one little girl named Amelia, who turned five this week. We took her to Disneyworld to become ‘princessified’ at the Bibbity-Bobbity-Boutique for her 5th birthday. Here is the before and after: at left, […]

This year one of the hosts of the group of students was Brian Collins, a designer, creative director, and educator; and the […]

The project was put together by the awesome team of designers and developers at Potion Design. This has occupied me for […]

I love bridges. So when I was in Porto this summer, I had no choice but to stop and make a pen and ink drawing of the beautiful Maria Pia bridge, that spans the Douro River, connecting Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. The bridge was designed by Gustav Eiffel. Yes, THAT Eiffel. What a […]

Labor Day weekend brought Neil and I to Longwood Gardens, a place we’d visited (and loved) 10 years ago. It was just as lush and beautiful as ever. We spent some time in what’s called the “idea gardens”, where students collaborate to make beauty together. My idea was to try to fit all the layers […]

Today is Labor Day in the US, and it’s also harvest season. The two go hand in hand – without the labor there is nothing to harvest, and no one to do the harvesting! So thought I’d give some thanks today to all of those people who work hard in the fields to bring us […]

Drew this view of the Plaza D’España from the window of our place in Madrid, the morning we left. Sombra y sol: even though it got up to 104 degrees while we were there, I always love spending time in Spain! Posted by Veronica

There were demonstrations all across the United States this past Saturday against the administration’s immigration policies, and the separation of children from their parents as they try to cross the border. NYC saw a large demonstration crossing the Brooklyn Bridge from lower Manhattan, and a smaller demonstration in my neighborhood of Jackson Heights. The group […]

I love when cities put up the name of their city in big letters at a public square – in case you forget where you are! I made this drawing during a lovely visit to Toronto with Neil and his parents. posted by Veronica

A while back, I was commissioned to illustrate a menu for a restaurant called Nino’s 46, in midtown. It was one of those fun, relaxing kind of jobs: sat across the street and made the drawing of the place. I had fun drawing the details of the building and I like the idea of the […]

You know those people who say, “I love the variation of the four seasons, and could never live in a climate where it was warm all year long”? Well, I’m not one of them. I HATE the cold weather, almost as much as I love living in New York City. You can see the conundrum […]
