central park, nyc i am in that place where i feel really stripped down. new. raw. uncomfortable. strangely (or not), this is exactly how i feel when i get midway thru a painting, when it’s all yucky and not pretty – just before i push thru and it all comes...

dear 2008, you were an insane year if i do say so myself. so much activity. so much whirlwind. sometimes i wasn’t sure of my footing, and other times i savored the flight. in the end, even with all the rolling ups + downs, you were nothing less than magical. and...

(it reads: grow. become. journey.i know, i know, a new hairstyle already! i can’t help it. i love buns right now) i woke up feeling hopeful and light today. usually i wake up tired, groggy, with a mental to-do list swirly in my head. but today, i woke up with a...

the clarity i’ve had up here nestled in the mountains, in between naps in my favorite hammock, is that i need to do art. i need it. i need to pursue it, in earnest, in oakland, california. i need to get a social work job, but only part-time (we do need to eat,...
