I am a lover of life. Not every moment is full of bliss (my fault, not life’s), but more and more moments are being realized. This is a journey, a project–not to ever reach completion, as that may mean I’m gone. I am an artist at my core, and I will attempt to share my art and art journals in my posts as well. This site is for me, as there are things inside my soul that must come out. I tell myself these posts are for my benefit because I want to be real–I don’t want to be performing for future eyes. I also don’t want to be perfect, I want to be messy and me-ish. If any of this chaos strikes a chord in you, then we may be kindred spirits…which makes me giddy just to consider the possibility.

I also want to be sure to embrace the things in life that don’t resemble typical bliss. There are many feelings and experiences in life that are labeled ‘bad’, and many things that are legitimately painful, emotionally and physically. However, it is my desire not only to look for bliss in rainbows and unicorns, but also in thunderstorms and frogs. I know it is not feasible or desirable to be joyful all of the time. I seek to honor all the perfect imperfections and beautiful difficulties of life as well as the delicious stuff.
