The wonderful Daye of came to visit my studio a few weeks ago and while here she took some really lovely photos of me. She sent these to me last week just as I was recovering from a week-long migraine. BODIES. That’s all I’ll say for now. But I look so cute in this pictures! 😊

Daye asked me a question a few months ago that I still think about: how does an artist show up to the studio when there are no guarantees? It was a question about financial stability and how one keeps doing a thing that does not pay you (at least not immediately). I can’t remember what I replied with, other than being an artist requires a certain amount of stubbornness. This quality of being stubborn is something that has followed me throughout my life, from male teachers in high school telling me it’s a bad trait, to female teachers in college telling me it’s a superpower. My stubbornness, like my migraines, are apparently a part of what makes me ME. One keeps me at the wall drawing and one puts me on the couch to rest. Life always seems to be providing some kind of balance (and dark humor 💀).
