After a long winter of traveling and surfing the world, I am once again here in Bridgehampton to bring excitement to the local Hamptons’ art scene.

Having really started building a name for myself as a young group show curator and drunk, this time I have a big treat for you all in the solo work of Felix Bonilla Gerena, a well-established Puerto Rican painter, whose work I noticed while on a surf trip last winter in Aguadilla, P. R.

 Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 1968, Bonilla has always had a niche for painting. His passion comes through on his canvases with his wonderful sense of color and form. His paintings combine striking colors with a sincerity and authenticity that speaks from the heart. To view Bonilla’s paintings is a vivid experience in color, depth, form and light.

After speaking with the owner of the restaurant, I was informed about the creator of these masterpieces, and was shortly thereafter, introduced to Felix himself.

As curator, I am now tightening things up, producing my first one-man show entitled “A Solo Exhibition” translating to, “Una Exposición en Solitario.” 

The show will open with an explosive reception on Saturday, July 12^th, from 5 to 8 pm at Collette’s Antique Barn, 2546 Montauk Hwy, Bridgehampton, NY, 11932, directly behind the old Bull’s Head Inn. Music will be held down by Sag Harbors own Max Barbaria so you know its gunna be a banger.

The show will be up till August 2^nd, for those who miss the opening or just want a chance to stop by and take another look at Bonilla’s beautiful works on canvas.

Hope to see you all there.

After an amazing weekend in the Hamptons, I have become aware of a new scam being pulled by local merchants. While many of us have always known of the summer price inflation of lattes, lunches, and brunches, the locals have found a new way to attack the pockets of its residents. This is in the form of the private car tow. Having never been towed in New York City, I was a bit alarmed to find my car missing from a parking lot early Sunday morning. I quickly called the Southampton Town Police who sadly informed me that they had not towed any cars that morning. After searching the lot for any clues, I found a small sign in the corner of a lot the ambiguously labeling the lot as a no parking zone during these early morning hours and a number to a Hampton Bays towing company. I talked the company (for a price) into towing my car back to me. Here are some of the photos….enjoy!

Was in Munich for a minute checking out the old man, but of course I had to get a lil loose and see what type of trouble I could cause in the Munchen club scene.

Heres a couple pics from Nürnberg, crazy lil town like and hour away from Munich, thanks to the autobahn.

Samuel and I are out here for 2 weeks couch surfing, taking meetings, jumping from studio to studio and grinding out but in the meantime we take adventures and no one keeps us fresher than LOLA.

HELLA love and we’ll see you all when we get back!!

Last week I went to Miami for work & loved it. I didn’t do anything @ night, just relaxed and explored but I found myself pleasantly surprised. With my free time I split the hours between SPF 40 tanning & sticker bombing. I met a kid named Steven who was proudly donning his New York’s Gone Hollywood shirt all over the hotel I was staying at. LOLA LOLA LOLA do it to the max xx amanda
