Sí, Te amo. Yo soy nadie, pero soy lo mismo que todos. Soy ella que rechaza, y la rechazada en historias paraleles. Ayudamos cada cual otro cojeara lo largo de tan nos convego. Esperamos encontrar permanencia, e igualmente esper huirlo. Hoy elijo entenderte. Hoy me mantendrás compañía. Cada dia, tenemos que escoger, otra vez.

Painting: Il Calore di’Un Abrazzio
This painting is one of only two portraits I have ever painted. A portrait? you ask. Consider that it is not only our eyes that see. Has anyone ever told you that they see you? No- not that kind of see.. but that they really SEE you inside and outside! See into you. Understand you….
Painting: Bones & Dust
These past three years have changed all of us. Not only in the collective, obvious ways. You may have changed on a personal, interior level in ways you did not intend, nor could have foreseen. You may even be upset with yourself that you don’t feel the same way about certain things. Wondering if you…
Poetry: There is No Justice
You will rape my soul of all it is worth to Then call me money hungry When it was love you wanted but refused to give The white woman takes advantage of undocumented immigrant, headlines will read and I still empathize, The ignorant woman, who thought we should buy a new garden hose… how disrespectful!…
Painting: Thank You for the Minutes
This painting was painted on top of an older painting I had done which was called “I’ll think About It”. I think I was running short on stretcher bars at the time, but the name seems rather fitting as I do tend to think about things for a while before making decisions. So I started…
Today’s Thoughts on Love
You called me, and I was here, when you needed me most I did not turn you away or think of consequences It was an expression of Love to back up my words with actions because actions are the real investment. It has cost me dearly… Actually, it is costing me you. Now I need…
Solamente quiero que tu seas feliz.
Don’t you want to be happy along with me? Show me your heart, take the risk, remember who you were before the harsh and jaded ones taught you what man is supposed to be. You don’t owe me anything simply because I have invested years. I have not given those years to you. I have…
Poetry: Separateness & Dissolution
A Few Words for Today 11.11.2023 I understand. There’s no graceful way to acknowledge It. Life’s ebb and flow is keenly sharp Given time. Even for all, that is in deep waters, Reveals what is concealed Better left unsaid, the things we cannot change. Currents take us, Best drift and let it be. The outward…
Everything is Communication: Communication is in Everything
Communication is a word that, at least in English…lacks in poetic beauty. The word communication is so matter-of-fact. It brings thoughts of information, updates, and obligatory messages. We all know that communication is essential to every human relationship. People hire myriad professionals to help them to communicate with others. These communication professionals could be therapists,…
Painting: Permission to Not Know Yet
I began this painting following a dream in which I dove into a lake to help someone retrieve something they couldn’t reach. In the dream I remember the phrase, “Dive in, you only live once”. Then a few days later I found the diving image that has been incorporated into the painting, in one of…
This could be mine: It’s not? It’s AI
In the world of higher education, where I currently work, there are a lot of big discussions being had about how to adjust the teaching/ learning model to the new realities of AI generated content. It is a tall order to adjust regulations at the student evaluation level, and also adjust teaching methods to utilize…
