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.

grey day...

it is a drizzly morning out this way- grey and wet with hazelnut coffee and a sleepy rottweiler. and 6oo miles away, my sister is waking up to her 26th birthday. i wish i could be there.

my paintings are leaning against every wall in the living room. my little studio is just too little to handle my many big canvasses. i'm so dang close to having two finished that the slow work of ending is driving me bananas. i want to see them done! ahhhhh! maybe today. maybe. but there are a few more mono prints to paint on too which is fun and maybe i'll make some more here at home, press them by hand, and have a great rainy day indoors. working in ink is always a good time.
