About Me


"What is the past, after all, but a vast sheet of darkness in which a few moments, pricked apparently at random, shine?"
"I forget about you long enough to forget why I need to."
"Painting is an artist's attempt to understand the world. There are as many solutions as there are people."
"If the world could remain within a frame like a painting on a wall, then I think we would see the beauty in it &stand staring in awe."
My mom and I rocked the 90s.
Tionna Grace Dolin.
You've just discovered the most ironic of people. First and foremost, I come second to whatever it is you are thinking right now. I paint nightmares. The ratio of my ejoyment among animals, to my enjoyment among people, is about 9:1. My mom says that I have an old soul. I fall in love, but never out. Fish are frightening. It's the little things that are the way to my heart. There's nothing quite permanent about me, accept that I am intimidated by change. I know what I like. My hairstyle and taste in boys will never alter. Take me to the beach and I'll be yours forever. Most people drive me nuts. Personal space is a wonderful thing. Art is my life (all forms). I walk fast and run slow. Scrabble and Tetris are two things I should be sent to rehab for. I am only happy in the sun, just like the song. I'm a pretty decent cook. I didn't like barbies as a child, or as an adult. Say vulnerable ten times fast. I don't like feeling vulnerable. Peace and love, sweetheart. I thought I liked to be in charge, but I may be changing my mind on that. Nevermind, I do. I suck at making every day decisions, like where to eat or what movie to see; yet, I am extremely opinionated. I haven't put meat in my mouth since I was seven (fish is meat too). I was born at 3:33. Therefore, I am special. I'm somehow shy and loud at the same time. It's all about context. I've realized that one's flaws are the things that you love in the people that matter the most. If you truely know me, the real naked truth Tionna, you are rare. The internet, the shminternet. Fooey. I tend to lose my inhabitions and I hope you do the same. The world intrigues me completely and I can't get enough of it. The concept of life has been baffling me since childhood and I can't get it off my mind. Well, that is, if life even is a concept. I have a lot to say, but often fall back on keeping my mouth shut. Being in my life is work, but i garauntee the prize is grand. Kick your shoozies off and come on in...

Sometimes, I party too hard.

My Interests

I paint.

Here is a little taste of my art:

Ignorance vs. Depth

Step 1, Step 2, Step 3.

The Best Stories Have No Words

This is the beat of my life..

I'd like to meet:

People kind of like this.. (i.e. amazing people)..

Music:

I used to have a long list here. But then, I realized music is private because I paint to it. None the less, you should give Bjork, Radiohead and Pearl Jam a try.

Movies:


I fell in love to City of God. In addition, I prefer Patch Adams, What Dreams May Come, Gia, and Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind.

Television:

Planet Earth (please watch).

Books:

The Beautiful Poem by: Richard Brautigan
"I go to bed in Los Angeles thinking
about you.
Pissing a few moments ago
I looked down at my penis
affectionately.
Knowing it has been inside
you twice today makes me
feel beautiful."

Heroes:

Priscilla Cruces & Angela Reyes
...rest in peace.
Granny and Papa.
Electra.
