The “Embrace Winter Art Walk” also celebrated the work of local artists with displays in several Bay Ridge shops. Hofmo and the other artists explained their handicrafts to curious onlookers.

The interactive art walk spanned approximately one mile, beginning at Consentino’s Fish Market (6927 Third Avenue) — showing artwork from the Scandinavian East Coast Museum.

Other stops along the way included Cream, Neugard Pharmacy, Bay Ridge Connects, Tops Restaurant & Supply Company, Charmed by JLM, Café Caffe, ALC Italian Grocery, Green Spa & Wellness Center, The Hom Store and Cellary (8916 Third Ave.).

The tour concluded with a small reception hosted by Amanda Jean New Fashion Boutique on 89th Street.

Artist Aeilushi Mistry featured an acrylic canvas painting entitled “Dhartima — Mother Earth” and explained that her painting is dedicated to Dhartima, our Mother Earth.

“All chakra colors represent living organisms that are dwelling with blessings from five elements: fire, water, wind, earth and ether,” Mistry said, adding that “It’s extremely meaningful to have my work displayed. At this art walk, everybody brings something different to the table — but the common thread among all of us is ‘let’s come together.’”

“Chez Hildos,” created by artist Hildos, was done on a Bamboo wood tray — “my first attempt on an object rather than paper or canvas,” she said.  “I always like exploring new things, and I wanted to share my three passions in one artwork: cooking, home decor and art.”
