Alone in the world
"MY WAY, YOUR WAY, ANY WAY"
Hi guys, this is some of my new work, I wanna question and yell to the open air and to whoever hears it this question: “Which way????”, and I wanna say “My way”, but I’m willing to risk doing it “Your way” only to live the experience, unless it’s guaranteed is gonna be amazing, no matter how just make it happen in “Any way”.
I hope you enjoy the view, this Neon I brought to Shadmoor State Park in Montauk, one of my favorite places there.
I also wanna mention the song that inspired me for this work, it’s called “Love the night away” by Dj Kaos, I heard it during the summer on a drive from home to Brooklyn, it talks about cherish hopes and dreams and a special connection with someone, passion and love!, you should listen to it, it’s fun!.
Greetings from California where I’m editing this post right now,
Teresa.
Rocks are underestimated
There is something about getting this far to this little place that makes you feel like you just reached the End of the world…
Winter 2021
This is one of my most precious pleasures I have in life, we all have something we love to do that might seem a little odd sometimes but gives us a je ne sais quoi, don’t you think? Mine is taking roses to the beach and snap a few photos of them but this is something you already know about me, what’s new? haha.
This was beautiful day, i’m so happy i’m alive.
Love signs
I didn’t miss one single sunrise or sunset for 9 straight days, these photos here are for the first sunrise of my West Coast trip. I can’t believe there’s so much natural beauty in this life, I mean, look at those colors! I’m taking this moment to give thanks for having the opportunity to witness nature.

One of the most beautiful times i’ve seen the moon that pretty and that full.
Frágil pero fuerte.
Y después de todo,
ahi estas tú,
brillando con toda tu luz
a los pies del océano,
la brisa del mar acariciándote,
y la neblina
haciéndote lucir más bella que nunca.
y después de todo,
ahí estas tu,
frágil pero fuerte.

Sunrise dip
i’m feeling grateful for my health and full of life these days, this is been such a hard year for everyone but i’m truly convinced our life can get better when our intentions are genuine and when we put an effort to do things we enjoy the most. Our vibe is what attracts the energy we want.
The other day I went to receive the energy and sunlight from the first days of fall and I wanted to share that with you with a little video, I hope you get it.
Stay close to the water and be safe out there friends.

SUN Rising
I wish I could live by the beach and be able to admire sunrises or sunsets from there more often, if you follow me on instagram you must know by now how much I share my love for these two phenomenons and how I like to light up neons at the beach too. Recently I went to Rockaway to photograph my newest neon rose called “Sunrise rose”, in that piece I talk about the ability to rise and become better, to grow and learn at the same time, to come from a lower place in your life to a higher position and more. Sun did not disappointed me, it looked so beautiful and a bit unusual to be honest, I will share the neon rose photo soon but in the meantime here’s this image.
Until next time,
Teresa.
BANDANAS
Hello,
I wanted to tell you about my new bandanas I have now available to shop!
See I’m a simple girl, I rarely wear makeup or heavy accessories, but sometimes wears very specific things like heart shaped earrings, seashell anklets or cowboy boots, yeeeeha!!! and my favorite thing: bandanas! I wear them around my neck or on my hair, depending on my mood and the rest of my outfit/activity, I like wearing. them on a fancy night or for go hiking, road trips, etc. Last year I was at my studio working and thinking I should came up with my own bandana design featuring one of my neon artworks and then I thought maybe I should use the roses I photograph at the beach as an inspiration and that’s when I decided I wanted to use the roses and a possible neon rose to extend my collection called “Soy las Rosas, you’re my ocean”.
I started playing and creating doodles on paper bond and created a board on a wall, months later in December I won an iPad, i’m no designer and I can’t draw well but I started playing and sketching on the iPad, I bought a pen too, is so much fun to use it, and I like where I was going with the ideas except I knew I needed help somehow! It was 2020 already and my goal was to have the bandanas ready for this Summer, it was going to be almost a year, I had everything figured out except the designs. We were in the middle of the Pandemic in March and I got a message one day from a dear friend through instagram, I think the universe sent him to me because he is an artist, graphic designer, illustrator, etc. It was Thiago asking me how I was ? and I knew exactly at that moment that we was the perfect person to help me with my bandana project, I told him about my ideas, I shared a board and my doodles and he was listening, he came up with these 3 designs that I love. So thanks to him my vision came to life, it was really great working with him! He vibes high, he is caring, creative, vibrant, unique, colorful, talented human and i’m so proud of him.
Please take a moment to know more about his work and I hope you like the bandanas and I can inspire you to wear them and spice up your style, you can go to my shop online or just send me a Venmo @Terebomba
Thanks for reading and extra thank you for your support,
Love & Light,
Teresa.

These are some of the doodles I made on the iPad, It was such a fun and long process but i’m so happy I finally got to complete it!
Charging batteries
Today was a hot day, I almost felt like I was about to give up the idea of my beach plans after a ride to Midtown, I barely go to the city anymore but I had to do a small job earlier there, I haven’t use the subway since March so everywhere I go I either bike or walk so crossing the Williamsburg bridge 2 ways on a Citi bike in one of the hottest days was no joke and on the top of that the inclination of the bridge is ahhhh!,but once I got back and got cool at home I packed my lunch and grabbed my camera and headed to la playa for a much needed recharging time, now i’m ready for another week of hard work, that’s another story about how people behave dining outdoors, I’ll tell you another time .
I wish the beach was closer to me so I can see the sunrise or sunset more often, in the meantime, enjoy some of the photos I took :) i’m no photographer but I like playing with the camera whenever I can.
Light & Love,
Teresa.
Sunset Rose
Hi, I’m again so happy to share my most recent neon artwork with all of you.
All the elements came together in such a magical way for me yesterday at Rockaway Beach, here in New York; my vision came to life exactly the way I wanted it, although is really hard to photograph neon lights and I don’t own a prime lens but i’m satisfied with the results because I got that 1 shot I was looking for. If you follow my work you know I play with roses at the beach all the time and that is my main inspiration for this, I have a deep respect for the ocean for many reasons and I believe light and water are besties in my world.
Thanks for reading me, please enjoy life as much as you can and I hope you get to enjoy my work as well.
Light & Love,
Teresa.
Beautiful Sunset Rockaway Beach
Last stop and feeling JOYFUL
I hope someday I can inspire some of you to go somewhere by yourself. I know is a little weird going some places alone but is actually really good for your soul, every single time i’ve been on a trip, short or long, I get to connect more with myself and I come back home feeling really good, inspired, healthy, energized and with a lot of positive thoughts. I know a lot of people that never go out and never do anything fun because they need to be with someone else, you shouldn’t wait for anyone to go with you if you really want to, just book that ticket, rent a car or take the train! Make a list of places you want to visit and start planning.
My bucket list is long but i’ve crossed many things from it already and I will continue to do so as soon as is safe to travel. I really wanted to go to the PNW and visit other National Parks this summer but the pandemic happened, in the meantime, i’m planning my next adventure here in NY and that will be underwater… Stay tuned.
I’m sharing these photos I took in Davenport, California in 2019, this place was the last stop on my itinerary from my road trip, right after here I drove straight to the San José airport to fly back home in Brooklyn, NY. I hope you get the vibe,
Besos,
Teresa.

Studio selfie, Neon Flower
Hi guys,
Just wanted to share a picture of me and one of my neon flowers, just recently picked it up from the neon shop, I had it there since 2019 I think, btw, can you tell i’m a bit tanned? I’ve been getting kissed by the sun and feels great! I’m also wearing a beautiful traditional Mexican shirt that my dear sister friend got me from Veracruz and is so cute!!!
I hope everyone can have a great summer, be nice to others and follow your gut or the universe guides if possible!
Love,
Teresa.
Escapadas: Montauk, The end of the world.
You might know or not that i’m terribly afraid to sharks but I also know the chances of getting bit by one are very low, hey I’ve seen Shark week! and other sharks documentaries, so I got into the water that day at Ditch Plains and I couldn’t even feel how cold it was because the adrenaline was so high! Honestly, I felt amazing, I can’t wait to go back to the water again.
Montauk is such a small town, so pretty, clean and really far away from the craziness of the city, is at the very end of Long Island, they call it “The end of the world”, this was my 4th time there. Sunset that day didn’t disappoint…
See you again soon.
Teresa.
"I FEEL YOU"
By the ocean is when I feel the presence of the absent the most, “ I FEEL YOU” is a work that expresses my thoughts and reflexions about the absence and the presence of the people we love that is no longer physically around us but we feel connected to them, there is irony in the concept; “I FEEL YOU” is a message I send to the most amazing natural things that Mother Earth gives us, the ocean, the sun, wildlife, flowers, rocks, trees, etc.
I’m so thrilled to share with you this light work i’ve created to celebrate the presence and the absence of a soul or a place we feel connected to.
“I Feel you” is my message to those i love the most, is a love letter to the ocean and nature and is the way I honor “your presence” and live “your absence”.
On October 4th of 2010 I lost my father due to sudden heart and respiratory problems, it was a surprise and I was devastated, my dad was gone. He would’ve been 71 years old today on June 11th 2020, Its been 10 years since he is not physically with me but he is present in my heart. This piece I dedicate to him!
Light & love for you always,
Teresa.
