Wildly colorful and undeniably alluring, artist Tanya Draskovic’s works of art draw you in with wonderment. Unknown to many, the colorful female figures she often depicts with glistening eyes and sultry lips are indeed a self-portrait of the artist herself.

Recently featured in Miami’s Art Basel and David Rosen pop-up Miami galleries, her uncompromising and vibrant self-portraits and abstracts have become a cherished favorite of galleries, private collectors and celebrities worldwide.

Ms. Draskovic’s work inspects issues of race, our material culture and the role of women that clearly resonate today. Her work also explores other eternal themes of identity, the human body and sexuality. Reminiscent of the portraiture of Frida Kahlo and the abstract expressionism of Jackson Pollock and Clyfford Still, her large-scale works are both modern and historically grounded.

Ms. Draskovic’s maternal grandfather, Ricardo Fischmann, was a well-known artist and poet in La Paz. He served as her mentor from a young age to unleash her lifelong fascination with art, culture and travel.

Her work also springs from her formal art education in Europe and the United States that focused on mixedmedia, film and photography. It led to her fascination with digital technologies and the embrace of new artistic methods she has developed to render her signature organic “splashes- of-color” that ignite her compositions.

For a limited time, Ms. Draskovic’s work is on display at Boca Raton’s Gallery Mavruk, along with her new Art-to-Wear Collection that includes clothing, shoes and accessories, which embody her art and its flair for the outrageous.

Elizabeth Bennett, PRINCIPAL AND CEO

“Women need to be involved in their financial plans and have an understanding of where all of their assets are, and what they are used for,” says Certified Financial Planner™ Elizabeth Bennett.

As a woman who has reared a child, been through a divorce and is working toward her own financial future, she forges a relationship with her clients from her own personal experiences.

“You need be in control of your finances and not leave that responsibility to someone else,” she cautions. “Knowing the types of investments that you have, the log-ins for your accounts, and sharing that information with your spouse is very important. Being involved in reviews with your financial advisor and understanding how to access those assets is imperative,” Bennett says.

“Taking responsibility for your financial wellbeing, starting at a young age, is probably one of the best things you can do for yourself. You should take advantage of your employer’s retirement plan, understand what your short-term savings need to look like and what your assets’ tax implications are. Be aware of your spending habits and where all of your money is going, whether you are single or married. As women, we know the value of delegating. My advice is to take one thing off of your plate and reach out to an advisor to get your financial house in order with someone you can trust. I am here for you,” she says.
