Here I am – Posing with my latest creation for Bene Rialto!

So yesterday was one of the most amazing days for me in NYC!

As some of you may know if you follow me on social media, I was invited back to the brand new 5 story Fashion Boutique off of 5^th avenue – Bene Rialto I love this store and it’s people so much and I always have the best time Live Illustrating fashion sketches for them!

This time however, I was able to get up close and personal with the larger-than-life 7 foot tall fashion illustration that I created as a permanent window display for the window store front of their boutique!

I mean – dream come true!

I am so excited and honored to be a part of their family and show them so much love – and it’s mutual.

Every time I live illustrate there, I love interacting with every guest.  Creating something so unique and beautiful for them – and seeing their reaction of how much they love it, is what I live for.  I feel so blessed and honored to be able to call this my “job”.

I was especially excited and honored to be asked by the amazingly talented NY luxury handbag designer Mary Lai to create an illustration specifically for her Trunk Show for the night and for her to use as part of her marketing campaign for the event!

Here I am with the designer and my new Mary Lai Avery Crossbody handbag in Red embossed leather. Obsessed! You can shop this bag and more here.

Come check out this inspiring new store and see all of the great brands they carry. With a mix of the hottest upcoming and emerging designers, gallery space, lounge area and more, this is the spot for amazing holiday gift finds.  Shop online too at www.benerialto.com

Here are some more images from the event:

Hope that inspires you!
