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.

YAY!!!

oh, i had such a wonderful time yesterday! i got to the gallery a few hours early to mingle, drink wine, take my time getting comfortable and set up, and hopefully fight over some art. i walked away with a jessica niello for myself and an eric jacobsen for my sweetie. yay! both of which are completely gorgeous and are excellent editions to our budding art collection. and most importantly, both artists are serious, are wonderful with their craft, and make images that pull on my heart-strings. i also got to do an amazing art swap with mr. piero spadaro yesterday (wow!) and am busy re-arranging the art on my walls to make it the center of attention. thank you piero! :)

i took pictures but for some odd reason, my computer isn't letting me upload them. boooooo! maybe i need to re-install the program... which means i've got to track down the disk. :( i'll get around to that later and will post some pictures as soon as i get my technical difficulties worked out.

and in other wonderful, unexpected, and completely awe-striking news: my gallery is taking "Lineage" with them next month to the art fair in New York! YAY! it shipped out yesterday and i couldn't be more thrilled about my maids meeting a new audience. astounding! and i am endlessly grateful. my gallery is, and always has been, so supportive of the work i do and this is such an unexpected display of that support that i am left feeling completely honored. thank you so so so much, guys! thank you!
