I started out whiney today...but I was readjusted... It's so easy to forget how far I have come in my Art journey. I wish I could say that I remember to count my blessings everyday, but today, for most of the morning, I was not grateful at all. The things that were inflringing on my …

The Journey, a Debut Art Video
. This project was a couple years in the making for me, and was born from the bottomless grief I was dealing with then. As caregiver to both of my parents after a 23 year-long active addiction, and after a devestating breakup of my marriage when my ex went to Federal Prison, I was …

I don't know about you , but I'll starting to feel it...It's like a weak electric current close to the floor , strengthening as each day passes... More awful news, more isolation and "distancing"-the current gets a little stronger moving to the top of my legs now. I'm getting antsy, and even though I have …

Oh, how I have longed for it's soothing embrace, and so have everyone I have contact with; …

Even then, in my earliest work, the duality of my nature is blatantly apparent. . The faces I drew were always …
Isolationism
At times the Artist feels so exposed...so unlike the rest...so isolated from the rest of humankind... She express this as ,"Feeling like I am painted Green".
