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 for saturday...

i slept and slept and slept! oh, it was nice and i had some really weird dreams. none of them bad, just weird, and now i'm up drinking coffee and looking at my paintings and happy that it's saturday because that means my sweetie is available for wrestling and playing and laughing. the weekends are good here and i look forward to their arrival in spite of the work week being pretty great too. i allow myself to forget my schedule on weekends and just enjoy our little life together. i still generally get a good amount of painting done and my sweetie comes out and checks on me, offers his thoughts, tells me what he sees... he's getting pretty good at giving a critique and is almost as big an art snob as me. ha! he reads my art magazines, cover to cover, and i don't really even do that. it's good that he takes such an active interest in all this. it helps and it's a great big comfort to have such strong support and endless encouragement. he says i'm his favorite artist. (blush) ha!
