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.

already

it's not even 9 o'clock yet and i've already spent money i really shouldn't spend but a girl's gotta have a little fun and welcome herself back home properly. 2 new kiki smith books and a pair of yellow rubber rain books. hahahahahahaha! perfect!

and the shop is back up and running. i'm not sure i like the look of the little etsy side-bar thing-a-ma-jig on my blog. it clutters my space up. no likey, no no no.

and i'm full of coffee and rowdiness and eager for everything! i will be heading out to the art store soon for gouache and maybe even some really really big sheets of paper.

it's a drizzly day, full of the beautiful low-lying fog. everything is grey and bright green, the remnants of rain falling from the tall trees. gorgeous. my home.
