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.

shading in...

it's too cold still this morning to go outside and paint. and i need the good light, it's too yellow inside the cottage. so i'm waiting. it'll warm up eventually.

i've got coffee and raspberries and elsie on the kitchen floor. i am working right there in front of the big window. my dog is asleep in my bed and it is so quiet and still here... that's why i am crawling around in her shadows today. it's quiet enough. she won't startle and run away. she is a tough one to pin down.
