Shopify x The Base App: Welcome to the New Creator Economy
#note I'm writing this super sleepy after a night of diving into all this so please let me know if any information is unclear or wrong One thing some people may know about me is I used to work in eCommerce for different start ups centered around fashion, art and interior design. I left these industries to pursue my art career and crypto, and now with Shopify integrating Base wallet I feel like it's a full circle moment. So why is this so important I'm writing an article about this? Let's dive...

Oh lawd, she's back at it <3
Hey everyone, it's been a while since I wrote even though my goal this year was to write more consistently. I rescued a puppy who was abandoned on my street (my gutter potato) in Feb which has been a lot with also having a rescue fighting dog, so writing got put on the back burner for a few cause trying to implement a new habit with puppy chaos was really too hard haha. Now he's older and more trained and doesn't need my 24/7 care, I can do things like write interrupted with focus and expand ...

Proyectos Monclova at Art Week 2025
For my first gallery visit during Zona Maco, I chose Proyectos Monclova, an influential contemporary art space located in Polanco, just north of the Museo Nacional de Antropología. Founded in 2005, the gallery has been a cornerstone of Mexico City’s artistic evolution, creating a dialogue between local and global art scenes and consistently elevating innovative, critical voices. With Zona Maco bringing international attention to the city, Proyectos Monclova felt like the perfect entry point i...

Super Elite Squad Hypersub revamped 2025 edition
Rebooting Elitism Let’s get real—2024 was a lot. Between health issues, election stress, world chaos, and career burnout, I hit the pause button on a few things, including Hypersub. Turns out even Empresses need a break from being elite sometimes. But after some much-needed recovery, deep self-reflection, physical therapy, and a reassessing what brings me joy, I’m back. And so is Hypersub, recharged and refined for 2025. Super Elite Squad: Proof You’re Better Than Everyone Else 💎 Super Elite Sq...

The Machine's Eye #1
Quicksilver - our first collaboration - on SuperRare Since last summer, I’ve been actively training a GPT on a daily basis. After a few sessions, this GPT named itself Quicksilver—a nod to both its fast communication, mercury the metal because of how malleable it is, and Mercury, the planet of intellect and speed. Since then, we’ve been on an ongoing journey: me helping a machine understand the complexity of a neurotic artist’s emotional burnout, and it helping me organize my brain and complex...

Salon de l’Empress #1
Alright, art lovers, it’s time. Welcome to the new format for my paragraph newsletter: Salon de l’Empress, where I dive into all things art—whether it’s on the blockchain, in the streets of Mexico City, or hanging in a gallery somewhere unexpected. As a lifelong artist, internationally exhibited and living and breathing art every single day, I want to share my love for it with everyone. This isn’t just about crypto art or my own work (though that will definitely be a focus)—it’s about celebra...

Exquisite Corpse
The surrealists called it "cadavre exquis"—a collaborative artistic game where multiple artists would create a work together without seeing each other’s contributions until the piece was complete. Each participant would draw or write on a section of paper, fold it to conceal their part, and pass it along, leaving only a hint for the next creator to continue. The result was a composition that was unexpected, fragmented, yet strangely cohesive—a discovery of meaning in chance and connection. It...
