Poetic Justice
I remember feeling confused as a child when noticing the way people felt, versus how they behaved. It was rare that the two actually reflected one another. For me, it was more like if you expressed a feeling--any feeling--there would likely be hell to pay. If you were cowering in fear, small and quiet, you were safer, but not immune. I’m not trying to convince anyone of how bad it was because I lived it, and even I struggle with fully accepting it. Though some may be able to relate, no one else knows what it felt like being in my body. Seeing what I saw, feeling what I felt, hearing what I heard, living how I lived. Cause that's the thing, life is an experience that is different for every person, even if multiple people share the same exact circumstance. If I have pulled you into this truthful tale, then I have successfully shared my creative outlet with you. I’m a storyteller, and while I do enjoy writing of all sorts, I am a poet at heart.

Spiritual Liberation Through Creation
Everyone in life faces some type of stress and pressure whether it be from their job, their family, the world, or even their selves. These stresses and difficult times can be shared by many or by few and bring people together, but the true beauty that can be found in it all lies within how we persevere through it. The struggles and stress are not always fun and, in most cases, can be emotionally and physically draining but when we use our stress and struggles and express it in other outlets, the outcome can be beautiful.

Art is My Sword
My life has shaken the very line where reality teases the mind into questioning how to push through emotions and releasing the burden of holding pain. Some days I question everything and feel so little value in my being here and other days I relish in the amazement of life and all the little moments of happiness. I grew up in Northeast Wisconsin. My family was a tough hard-working driven group of dedicated dreamers. My world began in nature and only continues to be because of my connection to nature and art.

Loud and Quiet at the Same Time
Shelving library books, and blending color into forms with acrylics can’t productively exist at the same time, but for me, they feed each other and allow me to recover from what each one conjures into being. They take turns passing the baton back and forth, in order to keep me in peaceful, buoyant motion as I travel through the sometimes insipid interim world to get from one to the other. I spend my days as a librarian and my nights as a painter. At night, I mix acrylics together in wild combinations to see what they might have to say as they emerge from paint layers and water. In the morning, I am lassoed away from the haze of the previous night’s creative venture, and away from my tangled bedsheets, into a library where its order is the life source of its function. The erratic waves of letting my mind fly through color is resolved as I walk into a world of structure. I find it funny that I was one of the messiest kids in the world, and I decided to become a professional organizer.

Mindful Practices
Often, we rush too much, and we need to find ways to be able to accomplish everything that we need to but also to destress. My life has always been quite busy as I’ve been involved in a number of community events, working a full-time job, pursuing my passion of writing, and working around my family’s farm.

Slingshot
The tangent of the angle used times the center to center distance between, divided by two. That was my first time making porn. Get your mind out of that skeevy place. I’m talking about the kind of porn that brings the left-brained, or maybe those with OCD, to a place of peace: lines flow parallel, radiuses match, and the spacing is equal. It doesn’t just happen by magic. There is an art—a beautiful ballet of ridged lines that give way to supple curves.
