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!

tonight is auction night! yes! the annual fundraiser/art auction/cocktail party benefiting the Access Institute for Psychological Services in San Francisco and yours truly has a piece on the auction block! i'm so honored to have been invited to contribute. this is an issue that has touched the lives of most people i know and, in our current economy rife with health care woes and hardships, it is absolutely wonderful that i can do something to help. even the smallest gesture counts. kindness matters. concern matters. and being given the opportunity to lend your skills to a heart-breaking, worth-while cause is something i cherish.

if you're in the area and have nothing to do tonight, come on out. it will be quite the soiree. and besides, i'll be there and i'm a whole lot of laughs and fun. :)

this is the piece that's up for grabs...
