  • I’m Back on WordPress

    Let’s go After being on Substack for a bit I decided to come back home to WordPress. I should never have left but I got distracted by shiny new things and didn’t think about the consequences of my actions. Anyway, I’m back now and I’m working on some pieces to post on here soon. I…

  • What’s Another Name for Pest…

    G’day Scrollers, and hello from an emotionally wrecked human who finally wrapped up the latest season of Firefly Lane and is now recovering from my nightly down-the-rabbit-hole trials of friendship, betrayal of trust and being a receiver of passive-agressive bullshit. It’s kind of a history lesson for me. It’s Easter week. I hate Easter week.…

  • It’s Not Enough to be Human

    Hiya Scrollers, How is life for you? I hope you’re all well and happy and living your dream. This last week has been a little crazy at my end, I actually left the house five days in a row last week. As a self-proclaimed homebody, I was only aware of this after the fact and…

  • It all comes back to ART

    Hey, hello, How are you all doing? By all, I mean the 7-ish gorgeous people that visit this blog. I hope life is treating you well and you need to know, I appreciate you and wish you nothing but happiness. I’ve been decluttering!

  • Sketchbook Project

    I did a thing with the Brooklyn Art Library. It was a couple of years ago but the pandemic had me forgetting that I even participated. I sent it off in the thick of the worldwide lockdown. Anyhoo… it’s just some doodles I did while watching TV or talking on the phone… nothing special but…

  • The always confusing part of being an artist…

    Art is an alchemical process. It transforms us just as much as it transforms the world. We cannot make art without changing ourselves, and some of the changes are our likes and dislikes. Suddenly, I wake up and decide I want to put a desk in my bedroom so I can paint and create more…

  • Breakfast & Meditation

    I have a To-Do list as long as my arm today. Yesterday, I worked from morning ‘til night…. 14 hours to be precise. I don’t even remember getting into bed last night. That’s how exhausted I was. This isn’t a complaint… it was a good kind of exhaustion because since I started working for myself…

  • Scattered Work History

    A friend came over for a catch up last week and we were having our usual chat about life and its complexities. I was reading him parts of my journal and I mentioned the phrase “multi-potentialite” and how someone called me that once but I couldn’t remember who… so he picks up his phone and…

  • It’s Unfair… it’s a pandemic

    [I wrote this in the June of 2020 but forgot to hit publish. I neglected this website because I went somewhere else, but now I’m back. Sorry for the hiatius] You didn’t cause the pandemic. You may be one of those that were, and still are quite vocal about its dangers. You probably didn’t vote…

  • How to Banish Melancholy

    melancholy: a feeling of pensive sadness, typically with no obvious cause. Autumn is that time of year when I come alive and begin to have some kind of structure to my days and nights. I don’t like the heat. Australian summers are HOT and they annoy me, I just can’t function properly. Today is an…
