Sleeping Beauty While a local artist’s son naps, she makes gorgeous watercolor creations. Even at a young age, watercolor artist Consuelo Reinitz maintained a perfectly ordered Sanrio pencil case. She always knew who had borrowed her favorite eraser, because they were all her favorite erasers. Her pencils were neat, and her colors were in order. Who knew she’d be this way forever?! Reinitz grew up in Nicaragua and moved to New York after college. She now lives in Astoria, where she moved with her husband just before her adorable son, Lucas, was born. While Lucas was napping, Reinitz had some extra time on her hands, and she began trying her hand at DIY activities. After trying baking, cooking and several other crafts, Reinitz got bored. The household hobbies weren’t cutting it until she stumbled across some watercolors at a supply store and sat down to try them out as she made thank-you cards to send to her friends. 18 I BOROMAG.COM I OCTOBER 2016 EXPLORE YOUR BORO BY ANTONELLA SARAVIA @TSARAVIA
