It’s OK to make yourself unintelligible, I c what u mean. 8.10-9.22.2018 Walking through life head down is the easiest way to go unnoticed and also to not notice. How long until you want to bring your head up? Leaks and ominous clouds abound, not new but maybe new to you. Head down, head up, whether or not it matters is up to you. 1.4-2.3.2018 Taking turns can mean feeling things out but it is sometimes hard to know whether the tables are turning or if we are going in circles. There are times when XXX = ♡ but also times when it is quite opposite. Let’s try to get on the same page … shall I put a banana in your tailpipe, so you know how it feels? 11.5-12.3.2017 This isn’t what I expected or what I wanted. What comes after XXX and ♡ when forward becomes reverse and stalling preferable to both? There might be some or a lot of waiting involved before I figure out where to put my flow. Trying to be more accepting of the situation but there is a banana in my tailpipe, do you know how that feels? 10.13-11.13.2016 It’s not that I’m not taking (this) seriously but I am most definitely looking for other options or should I say maybe an out. Who knew cracking the nut would be so hard when for so long I thought the pressure valve was there just for show. A viable option for some but I’ve been trained not to touch. Let’s see what happens with the release. Would you want that in your house? 3.21-6.21.2016

Transitions are not always easy and it might be fair to say that often times they are difficult. It’s hard to know the best course of action. Tenacity helps but sometimes it’s ok to settle into the maybe. Drawings include: dots, dalmatian, grid, bananas, chains, squiggles, potato, carrot, apples, pumpkin, and bonsai. Grass provided by Central Sod Farms.

In finding the balance between one’s true desires and realizable good taste – displays of self control can take you very far. Inspiration can be found in the unexpected so keep an open mind. Don’t be afraid to borrow and steal as long as you make it your own. Closer to right than wrong / closer to wrong than right… Either way, this one is for me but also for you.

This economy forces double-fisting sometimes but mostly triple or quadruple. How much can you carry? I have 17 keys on my keychain and this show was made on stolen time. There are 4 pieces in this show and all of them are exactly what they are: backdrop painting of a jungle, oil on muslin, 10’ x 27’; cast watermelon, acrylic on plaster, 11” x 8” x 8”; zebra skin painting, oil on linen, 9’ x 6’; color photograph, 19” x 24”. Actually, 3 of the 4 are replications of what they are meant to be: a jungle, a zebra skin, a watermelon.
