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.

crawling along...

feeling a bit under the weather... i think all the excitement and drama of the past few days did me in. ugg. and i missed First Thursdays as a result. double ugg.

but i've finally collected 100 hearts at my shop! yay! it makes me feel so good and i really appreciate all the support and interest i've been receiving the last couple of months. it means the world to me.

last night, i stayed up painting until about 3 am and it felt wonderful, working slowly and patiently. it feels like i've been talking about these oil paintings forever and am still pretty far off from being able to offer proof of their existence. i swear, they're real! i'll eventually get these beasts tamed.
