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.

pretty...

i've posted a few new things at little black fences, one of them being the big redoute rose painting, as well as a few smaller works like this one:



it's my very first ACEO (Artist Card, Edition, Original)! i only recently learned about Art Trading Cards and thought it's such a sweet and wonderful idea... especially since it was just a few weeks ago that i did the art trade. i was so pleased to find out there's an entire culture surrounding trading artwork. in order to be an artist trading card, there is one stipulation that must be followed: it must be the size of an actual trading card (3 1/2" x 2 1/2")... alot harder than it sounds!

the garden of weeds image is one that i've been working with for about two years now but is so different from my regular subject matter that i've not shown the work very often. i think they are so lovely though and the image was perfect for this art form. keep your eyes peeled for more of these little sweeties over the course of the next few weeks! and...
