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.

funny money...

shortly after noon, the mail-man arrived with my much anticipated gallery check so you know what i did? i checked out from the studio early, took my dog on a quick hike, and then headed off to my beloved macy's. :) um hmm, mamma needs a brand new dress! DKNY, here i come! ha! i saw a slew of lovely things that i would've loved to bring home but the dressing room mirror refuses to let me lie to myself and, as a rule, i will not buy clothes that don't look like a million bucks on me. very few designers make clothes for the hour-glass figure these days so i take my sweet time trying things on when i go shopping, searching for the perfect fit. i scored a sweet pair of pants and was busy looking at shoes when my lover called and asked if i'd pick up dinner. he's been working tons of overtime lately and is always so damn sweet to me that saying no to such a cute request isn't ever going to happen. so on the way home, i stopped and picked up a fine mexican dinner for my sweetheart and i, and 2 bottles of chardonnay (one of which i just uncorked). mmmm mmmm yum. all in all, i had a wonderful day.
