these texts are an archive of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area from march 2007 - march 2015. it stands as a record of close to a decade of my life, charting the struggles i faced as an artist, daughter, and lover. messy and chaotic at times, eloquent and poetic at others, these texts are an index i am proud of. it was here in this electric box that i learned how to be honest about my experiences and the person i needed to become. it was here that i first learned the truism that words make the world and how to trust such a beautiful, rife, hard fact.

thank you for meeting me here in such tall grass.


my artist website is here.

this is a portrait of my brother as a little boy. again, the work is very small, 12" x 12" (my favorite), encouraging intimacy with the viewer.
when i think of our childhoods, it is my brother's that was cut the shortest. this piece is offered as much as a token of understanding as it is a moment of mourning, and as a recognition of the struggle that takes place when trying to establish an identity other than "son", "brother", and "the oldest".

I love your work Angela, but in this particular piece, my most favorite thing about it is your synopsis. I REALLY LOVE the CONCEPT of the whole painting, but when you look at it. The eyes just don't tell it. This is not one of my favorites.
