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

brilliant and terrifying, every one. i lived in that house you know. i recognize it to my core. terrifying. great art has that power.
thank you, my wonderful friend!!!! :)
which one? the exploded house??? if so, i'll send you one in the package that is just sitting here waiting for my perfectionist-ass to call it "done". it's part of a series... if you even want the reminder kicking around your magical dwelling. let me know, sweet woman. ;)
Yup. Awesome.
Fences/boundaries are very important to your work, aren't they...
A ghost town cemetery, bordered by such fences, places I know or knew...how fluent you are in word and image.
WV - cheez. I don't think so.
hannah, thank you!!!!
yes, very. for years now. and life has begun to imitate art in that respect too! ha! ;) which is Good.
marylinn, thank you so much!!! sometimes it's so easy for me to ignore/forget these simple little drawings, ignore the language or atmosphere they create because they aren't a massive oil painting. thank you for reminding me that a simple approach can leave a deep mark. :)
These are all so beautiful and so different!
thanks, christine! i've been going through my work again lately and i actually found a pretty large amount of work inspired by sylvia plath. i'm working on a portfolio for you now. and not just for Fat Gold Watch, but just to show it to you. just so you can have the images. just so the conversation continues. :)
