Happy New Year 2020

Happy New Year/ Solar return/Dawning of a new decade/The great transition and all that jazz!

We are firmly seated in the 21st century. It’s 2020, damn it and I’ve got a lot of shit to talk about. I’ve spent some time looking through this writing and thinking about how and why I ended up stopping… (we will get into that later). What I realized is I have more than a few dozen stories started and topics where I’ve written the gist and a few paragraphs only to abandon it. I have twice as many one sentence topics ready to dig into. I mention all of this to simply say… It’s time to move beyond the block!

This writing space has served as a place of introspection for me. A place where I could share my voice in a very different way than my painting. It has fed the parts of me that were fearless both in how I approached the world but also in how I would account for and look at myself. I have been missing that and it’s time to reclaim ME.

On that note here are some highlights for 2019:

I completed my largest corporate project—A mural of the siren for the world’s largest Starbucks;

I’ve completed two other major public works—A residential building mural &  an educational mural on American Identity;

I had four University exhibitions of my work;

I found a permanent home;

I found myself and my work in two documentaries— Thee Debauchery Ball & The Color of Art;

I danced my heart out quite a few times;

Got back on my true love path;

Suffered some heavy love losses and transitions;

Gained some new magic people in my life;

Learned a ton about my own boundaries and how to best honor them;

Suffice it to say, this has been one hell of a year! I am so very ready for the people and experiences that 2020 has in store. And along the way in this coming journey, I simply resolve to....

Love them as they are, have amazing sex, and communicate with 20/20 intention!
