On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, we welcomed a lion dance into the studio for a blessing. After our recent move to Chinatown, it felt especially meaningful to mark this new chapter by honoring a tradition deeply rooted in the neighborhood we now call home.
This Lunar New Year marks the Year of the Horse — a symbol of strength, independence, and forward momentum. As the year begins, we move forward with that energy.
I’m excited to share that Jelena Behrend Studio has moved to a new location—28 Elizabeth Street. This marks my eighth studio space, and in many ways, it feels like a full-circle journey, returning to Chinatown, where it all began on Catherine Street.
Each space I’ve worked in has carried its own energy, shaping my creative expression and deepening the connections I cherish with each of you. This new chapter is no different—it’s a continuation of my passion, dreams, and aesthetics, inspired by the support and inspiration you bring to my work.
