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.

and the secret finally comes out...

so about three months ago i started dropping hints that something really wonderful had happened. that's when all the chardonnay drinking started. ha! well, i finally got clearance from my gallery today that i can let the cat out of the bag and stick this new info on my resume:

a painting by yours truly is one of the most recent acquisitions of the Microsoft Art Collection.

OHHHH MYYYYY GODDDDDD! YAAAAAYYYYY!

i was completely flabbergasted when i first got the call that this was about to happen. completely awe-struck and dumb-founded and speechless. i was wearing a cheesy grin for an effing month! i mean, what did i do to deserve such an amazing honor? i was beside myself. completely. and i still kind of am. it seems completely unreal to me. entirely mysterious and graceful and humbling. i still don't really know how to talk about it or what to think. all i know is that i am intensely thankful. so so so completely full of gratitude and appreciation. it is an amazing act of support and a huge dose of self-confidence to my path and practice (and self).

so without further ado, this is the piece... courtesy of the Microsoft Art Collection (hee hee hee - it feels really good to say that!).
