i miss drugs
"I miss being a drug addict and chain smoking. I miss having a vice and feeling good. I miss my mind back then, or rather the disconnection from reality. Sometimes I wish I could go back. I came across these videos again from almost ten years ago. This was the day my grandmother died. I found out as we got our of t...
New Mexico, 2016
Life is such an incredible trip. I can't believe its been seven years since I lived in New Mexico. I hope to go back to this incredible land and explore the west, revisit past places this / next year. I left so much art in our cabin there. I hope and pray to feel safe to go back one day. The sunset, water, moon and...
in the river - solace in the waters upon receiving more shocking news
getting naked in any body of water is what truly soothes my soul... these images were taken a few days ago in the river near my house... A few days ago, I was told that I have to move out of my studio / gallery living space. Obviously, I was devastated at first, and in many ways I still am. I finally started to feel se...
Circle one complete for ‘we are gods’ series
Today and yesterday I spent the day selling my art on the side of the road in Hudson, New York… It was an absolutely incredible experience. It was my first time selling my art on the side of the road in upstate New York. I was not invited or welcome to show my studio as part of Upstate arts weekend and so I decided, ...

I’ll be writing about it soon and sharing it on my substAck and a little here. It is so magical to come together with women and laugh, cry, dance, sing, play together… healing.
Joy before another fall
A moment of joy, a glimpse of hope: I’m being kicked out of my home / studio / gallery space today. This was the one place or thing that I thought was stable. Somehow I’m relieved. I will have to put in the work to move and put everything in storage, but at least I’ll be free from the dark energy and insanity of ...

Money for Sex
July 13, 2023Today I was offered money for sex. This has happened before. This time it feels different. It feels real. It feels dark, out of the question, yet necessary. I really need money right now. I immediately felt and thought no, but I really thought about it, I’m still thinking about it. I’m really trying to...
2015 Manchester-by-the-Sea
I'm uploading these again, as it has been a while, and I'm trying again to organize my archives (sorry to those of you who have seen these but here are new words and thoughts). It is so crazy to look back and see how self-conscious I used to be. I thought I was so fat and only felt comfortable modeling from 100...

Color People
I have so many visions in my mind and so many projects / series that I'm working on with my art. One vision I had about ten years ago was a woman standing in the forest in front of a waterfall with colorful painted handprints all over her body. Finally I'm starting this series. I haven't made it to a waterf...
