Victimization

Reflection 24 x 36 Oils on Canvas by Jennie Rosenbaum I read Hazel Dooney’s blog somewhat religiously, it’s inspiring to read the thoughts of such a successful young female artist – especially one I have quite a bit in common with. She recently wrote a fascinating post about victimization amongst female artists which really touched…

De-tox

Pain by Jennie I am currently in the midst of changing over medications. I’ve tolerated to my nerve medication and have to step down gradually off it.

does it feel like a time of portents to anyone else? as I watched the eclipse tonight I was struck by how everything feels like it is coming full circle. some things are drawing to a close, wrapping up.
