So here I am...seemingly unenthusiastic and hesitant, but ready to make art more consistently.

my signature
I got up this morning and I signed my painting after 10 1/2 hours of sleep. and Yeah, and then, I realized something and instead of letting go, I started painting for the entire length of an hour. A subtle change, but enough to be surprised.
So that is the ending to a new beginning. Hopefully my reluctant nature has been resolved.
Why I write:
language emerging truthfully as an intimate friend, overcoming obstacles, exposing flaws, accepting and practicing journaling as a gift, reflecting and gaining understanding from every experience, regardless of the outcome, generally finding a particular purpose in rambling; formulating and uttering an in-cohesive stream of consciousness, leaning indiscriminately towards acceptance and rejection; interrelating the need to be translated, writing both carefully and most carelessly, attempting to become in plain sight, underneath aluminum sky.
Quotes that inspire me to share my narrative:
“Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing. Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength.”
-August Wilson
Why do any art if you’re not going to bring out of yourself the thing that is most vulnerable and most precious, that has to be said? Why do something unless you’re really trying to get at what it’s really about?
