Art and Soul'd: Ana Petre

Meet Ana, my gorgeous and talented little Leo friend whose artwork is as striking as her enigmatic green eyes. Leos are infamous for naturally being the center of attention and from first interaction Ana captured mine.  Very humble about her talent, Ana's work speaks for itself.  Making everyday doodling her everyday masterpiece and even the fallen leaves from trees her carving canvas, she unleashes her soul through a variety of different artistic mediums.  With a nomadic spirit and a romantic heart, her work is trickling with edgy sensuality and majestic charm.  I had the privilege of snapping some evidence from inside her habitat and wanted to share a glimpse of her beauty.  Want more? Step inside her world through her tumblr and follow her filtered perceptions on instagram.  Savour it all, for this lion can not be tamed!

Mediterranean Summer:

In August I went on an eye opening, soul quenching trip to Turkey.  Getting back in touch with my half roots and reconnecting with family had been long called for.  Revisiting after 10 years, that country has stolen another piece of my heart.  From the scenery, the culture, the energy, the jewelry and the sea of stray cats that dominate the streets, I was perpetually enamored. Every glance and turn was like a majestic tugging on the strings of my physical and emotional senses.  Known as a country that runs on the phrase "Survival of the Fittest", Turkish people make the most of their time.  The one defining thing I took away from this trip is, Don't Wait.  If there's something you can do, want to do and should do, you should do it now.  Don't wait for the right moment because that moment may never come.  Maybe it's a European thing, or maybe it's just the right thing. If you can, live your life when you wanna live it and there's no telling what kind of happiness you can experience.
