Sending Out An S.O.S





This is a pretty condensed version of what I'm going through and what I need help with. I honestly don't know how much this is going to cost. I AM A TICKING TIME BOMB and this is dire for me to get seen and treated ASAP. I have less than 28 days before the pain episode comes on again. I could go into detail about how this is the worst pain ever in the world, that for about a week I will feel like Im being stabbed and murdered every other hour. The pain brings on nausea and nonstop vomitting. I have been prescribed Hydrocodone but can't take it because I throw it up within 5 minutes. I can't hold down water and eventually have to go to the ER where they stabilize me with drugs and send me back out saying I need to see a specialist. This will require surgery. I am uninsured and need help. Please check this link and donate if you can.  http://www.gofundme.com/2im5r0

About me: I am a local Dallas artist who has been very giving of my work and time throughout the years. I have donated art to KETTLE GALLERY, ARTCON, ALLYS HOUSE, Incrementum and numerous other charities throughout the years. I have been an avid arts advocate, writing features on local artists and spotlighting art events and venues in the community for the DFW Mercado Bilingue publication and web. I founded BARTERING ARTISTS where artists and service providers could barter with each other in lieu of money for things that are needed but may not be affordable. I am not a selfish member of the community and hope maybe some of the light will shine on me in my time of need. Please if you can help or know someone who can- this is the most important thing in my life right now. I need to work and be healthy again.
Thank you! How can you help?

    Patricia, contact EASL (Emergency Artist Support League). They are a local organization that exists specifically to help artists in difficult situations such as your current one. I don't have their contact info, but it should be easy to find online. With good thoughts for a quick recovery!

Down Time

work in progress, my first MUNNY It's been a whirlwind of cleaning, organizing and getting ready for the holidays. There are now small signs of Christmas here, a wreath on the door, the tiny tree is up and garland is flocking the doorway. I sent out some Christmas cards and bought the Christmas ham to share with my family. I guess I need to find a pie though, absolutely forgot about that. Some friends are coming over tonight so I'm making my studio presentable for whoever would like to see it....it's a dining room, don't expect some cool amazing room filled with cool amazing things. In fact almost all my art is NOT EVEN HERE. And actually the get together is being held next door at my friend and landlords place so I don't have to break my back trying to be the hostess with the mostest awesome house. I'm an artist with 3 cats and too much stuff, it's never gonna be pretty. But I digress, this blog is about that creepy looking head up there.... I need...

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

2026 Petty Edition

 I just missed blogging here. On Patreon it's always a focused point and hits people's mailboxes directly and I feel like I might be bothering them  This is more Dear Diary let me dump my brain out here.  It's 2026 and I am on point and focused on a goal. I'm a harpoon heading for my mark and I've already done the hard part of getting accepted into my goal- The Other Art Fair . If you know me you know I have put in the time, the hours, weeks, months and years. I've sacrificed everything and stripped away everything stoically to the barest essentials to be an artist.  Lost social scenes, Fair weather friends and missed out on experiences. Some of that is alright. Some of that is painful. I can definitely only keep friends who understand I am that weird friend you hardly see who is walking a monks path to my destination. I have a dream and purpose and lots of people do not. I am aware of my time here and my gift to use and some people think time is endless and...
