i'm burning the candle at both ends to stay warm and give me light - (jimmy louis)

About Me

I'm pretty much just a girl on a bike roaming around Atlanta stopping in now and again to say that i haven't fallen off a cliff from looking at the night sky for too long. I'm a former ranking scoop monkey at a place many of us here in the atl have been employed by at one time or another... I work mainly now at a Thrift store surviving middle management mayhem.I also love art and music, but being as if i don't sing or play an instrument, i serve as a loyal patron of sounds and make art to balance while standing on the ever so shifting rocks.I love cuddling, late night diners, and nerdy kid stuff (I have a soft spot for vintage toys!) and have a thousand vhs (just kidding, but close).... I find comfort in going to the theater and sitting in the dark with a bunch of strangers and somehow losing my self in my voyeuristic appetite. DISCO for LIFE!

My Interests

people, Art History, Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Photography, putting up shows I guess you can tell i went to school for this stuff at one time?.... and then there are things like going out at night, dancing, drinking, eating at late night diners and cafes, going to shows and playing around with my roommates and former roommates (and the count is up to 37). i have a romance for the morning but i am really a sleep deprived insomniac whos veins are filled with espresso, cider, or a clear malted beverages. During the responsible people's waking hours i ride my bike around town and sit in coffee shops when i am not working my two jobs.I'm interested in the small things, the forgotten things, the things that want to make us different or simular to everyone else..... history, human connections, and Anthropology.In regards to my artwork it typically deals with issues of Gentrification in terms of modern/postmodern painting... deeper issues for me are urban decay; intimacy vs. isolation; physical and mental transitional spaces; the place between memory and forgetting; and the concept of abandonment and enduranceI have some shows up around atlanta and pieces for sale. - for more info contact me - [email protected] or [email protected]
