On my Art website, you can sign up to be on a email list. It’s been over a year and no one on that list has received one email because I hate writing emails.

I don’t even know how to send an email to the entire list. But one day, in a few years when everyone has forgotten that they signed up I’ll send an email with a singular bug fact.

Art is learning how to take something and change its form. Taking danger and creating elegance. Take clay and creating the illusion of life and growth.

I’ve learned to do the same with pain and sorrow. They never go away but their form can change. I take those experiences and they become the materials for creation, still there but something new at the same time.

People keep tagging me in a new dress by the company Fanciful doll because it has beetles on it and I love a good twirly dress with puff sleeves. But the beetle print is AI so it’s a hard no from me. The beetles have 10 legs which really irritates my autism and love for accuracy.

I hate endometriosis. At this point I have had multiple surgeries, I’ve been on almost every kind of birth control, medically induced menopause and diets to help with inflammation. It all does NOTHING.

Doctors: you better show up 15 minutes before your appointment to sit in a room for 45 minutes until I’m ready.

I asked a friend if they wanted to help brainstorm title ideas for my paintings. They stated they just use chatGPT to come up with their titles. They were quite sheepish admitting this because they know my thoughts on the subject.

I then spent over an hour with my nieces and nephews brainstorming title ideas for my art and theirs. The hour was full of delighted giggles, snacks and art and science questions answered. That hour didn’t just result with our art having titles. It gave us human connection.

I finished my insect fact gumball machine for bug fest!
