Journal11

This is based off a poem I wrote after me and my second husband got together. It is about that moment when you can either run away or stay and begin to surrender to something bigger. I really didn't plan this page, instead I experimented with some of my new ink sprays and let go of an overall design. The colors ended up being very intense and I thought that this image would frame the poem well.

Journal 10

This journal is about the summer after my daughter's father died. We were living with my dearest friend and we were both poor and struggling. Still that summer invokes strong memories that are achingly sweet.

I love this quote from C.S. Lewis…it's so sad.The women is facing away and represents the things we pine after or reminisce about, once somethings over.  

There is something so honest about a whore's work.  Shame is inherent but the relief of being just what you are seems exotic.
