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 day...

a vulture circling, it's wide wings casting a shadow larger than an airplane... canadian geese in their fright-filled flying V... jack rabbits running from the sounds of us: our morning jog in the vineyard.

home. coffee. painting.

ahhhhh.... painting. one pair of ladies faces forward, arms crossed, foreboding, faceless but i can feel they're definitely not smiling. another pair wrapped up in an ear-whispering embrace- the secret-sharers. a third pair... one halfway hidden behind the other, their limbs tired and limp and their sides. i am surrounded and i dance back and forth between them all...

i will spend the next few hours in a different gear. it is my sweetheart's birthday today. there is a massive love letter waiting to be written and a steak dinner to prepare. :)
