My NY moments
Days of birth
Surprised at Art
Just to tuch base
Christopher’s graduation
To feel beloved cheeks
To chat
Photos don’t always make it
But you know what stays with you
In your heart in this moment
Forever
I could cry
For the next edition of our “What She Was Thinking” series, Beatrix talks about the portraits hanging front and center in the cafe, her beloved dog Leopold, and creating from wherever she is in the moment. ☕️
There’s always more in her head than we can fit into one reel… so this is just part one.
Stay tuned for more, including the story behind the mysterious figure hiding in the corner of her family portraits.

Has Goya’s Maja ever been a mother?
Was she exalted with this kind of happiness.. the purest of all feelings, the most devastating when it is invaded by dishonor.
Innocence is restored by Love with the help of our almighty God🕊️🌹
On this beautiful spring day
Coming from Church
The death of a rat is a reminder of our own fragility…
That with a new a life - An old one passes away
Sacrifice is the greatest sign of Love
Sacrificing the glory of Self - instead pointing us to the Glory of Gods Grace
Beatrix, her window, and a perfect pairing—

Fashion Friday at The Bardo ❤️💚
Beatrix Ost, in her 80s, dresses as an act of creative defiance — not for trends or approval, but as pure self-expression. Her body is a living canvas, each outfit a composition of color, texture, and feeling.
She didn’t get the memo to be understated. She dresses for joy. For vibrancy. Guided by simple questions: what would I wear if I stopped worrying? What would I wear if this were my last day here?
A reminder, and YOUR inspiration to wear what you love.
Tonight, join Beatrix at First Friday Art Walk here at the Bardo 5-8pm. Have a beautiful weekend! ☀️
