On April 12, 2023, Clara had surgery. We expected one day in the hospital, a cast, four weeks and back on her feet. What came instead was months of strong dystonia, a strong seizure, nights and nights without sleep, and four months without walking. Day after day at the gym, at the pool with her dad by her side, tears and perseverance that words can barely hold. And in the middle of all of it hours and hours in the studio. The place that became Clara's sanctuary.

As her mom, Clara has always taught me to see the beauty in everything and never give up. Then in November I fell down the stairs, broke my knee and shoulder, and she realized I wasn't a superwoman after all. Something shifted between us. She embraced her mission, she started understanding the magnitude of it, and since then we have been having the time of our lives.

Somewhere is about that: the place you didn't plan to be, the one that didn't feel fair, the one that broke you. And the one, if you stayed long enough, that turned into everything you ever dreamed of. We are living our somewhere. And we want you to find yours.

Because wherever you are right now; in the waiting, in the pain, in the doubt, or finally in the dream: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Someone (AKA our Queen Clara) made art for you from that exact place. Hang it on your wall. Let it remind you every single day that your somewhere is worth it. That you are worth it.

Clara went on walks, bought flowers at Trader Joe's, brought them all back to her studio, combined them, and just like that, The Garden was born.

Spring in California is something special, but if you've ever lived in Europe, you know that feeling when the first little white daisies pop up in the green grass after a long, cold winter. It's a sparkle of hope!

We hope you will love The Garden as much as we do. It was created to bring joy, hope, and that little moment when the spring sun wraps around you like a hug.
