i am a self taught artist, a tomboy with a mean-streak of glamor, and a perpetuator of contradictions.... when i was a kid i wanted to be (in this order) an artist, a trapeze artist and a midwife. influenced heavily by my love for individualism, integrity, idealism, intrigue and tom-foolery.... tongue-in-cheek. gypsies. trains. hats. old trees. gardening. root-structures. orchids. lilies. suitcases. cellos. deer. noir, femmes fatale, pin ups. watermelon. pomegranates. guadalupe. our lady. her immaculate heart. kalika. shiela na gig. day of the dead. mexico. traditional tattoos. burlesque. sideshows. la sirena. mer-creatures. pulp paperback covers. el corazon. anatomy books. creosote. rain (thunderstorms). the wee hours. the word wee. oui.
by way of artistic expression i am given to painting, designing/ creating jewelry, fascinators and clothing, and dabbling in the creation of my own sort of refined kitsch.
salud,
