While everyone is all rugged up and indoors for the winter, Pepa Prieto is out braving the elements deep in the mountains of Teruel, Spain.

Reunion Island Coffee hosted the art fundraiser ONE LESS PAPER CUP at Unit cafe/bar in Toronto last month in which fifteen contemporary Canadian artists volunteered to donate their talents toward converting white ceramic cups into pieces of art. All proceeds from the fundraiser went to Grounds for Health – an organization that operates in the coffee growing communities of developing countries to give women with cervical cancer education, screenings and treatment. I was fortunate enough to be picked as one of their artists and gladly got right to work on the black and white mug and case in the photo above. The event was a huge success and managed to raise over $3000 for Grounds for Health. Thanks to Adam Pesce for producing and curating the event!

Hello Element friends and family,
To bring in the New Year, my husband and I decided to visit the beautiful Santa Lucia Mountains of Big Sur also known as “el paîs grande del sur” (meaning “the big country of the south”).
It is breathtakingly beautiful, and one of the only places on Earth with a unique biodiversity, where you can walk among the huge Redwood forests within sight of Cacti on the dry mountain landscapes.
The first people to inhabit the area where the Ohlone, Esselen and Salinan Native American tribes. These tribes were nomadic, hunter-gatherers that spent the winters on the coast harvesting mussels and abalone, then traveling inland for the to harvest oak acorns during summer which was used to make flour.
Big Sur is renowned for the bohemian lifestyle it attracts, and many famous artists, photographers, poets and writers have been inspired by its allure… Edward Weston, Henry Miller, Hunter S. Thompson and Jack Kerouac just to name a few.
Here are a couple of photos that I took on our travels…
Hope that the new year brings you lots of love and happiness; 2010 is gonna be awesome!

“Glamour Mag invited me to collab in the January issue and this is the illustration I did for them. The theme was the representation of my country (“sunny”…España) as head of the EU parliament…so I decided to work with the letter “ñ” as is unique from our language just like the Spanish omelette or like the yummy croquetas! Muchas gracias Glamour Mag!”
