I’ve said this phrase over and over in the recent months. Life is crazy. By this I mean, it’s unexpected, it’s magical, it’s twisty and sometimes it throws something at you that makes you stop in your tracks and re-evaluate everything. All this to say I’m happy to announce I’m back in California. After seeing some beautiful places and learning many new things, I’m back in a place that is somehow both familiar and new.
At the half way mark of the year I feel the need to take stock of the good that has happened so far. This year I had my artwork collected by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. I created new images for a grant and exhibition in New York through the En Foco Organization. I visited many new places, the ruins in Copan, Honduras, the hillsides and beaches of El Salvador and I hiked my first volcano. However, what has made the biggest impact on me is the incredible love, generosity and kindness of my friends and family. It is a kindness that has surprised and humbled me over and again.
I have a lot to be grateful for and it feels good to remember that.
What I’ve realized is: just because life is crazy, doesn’t mean it’s not good.
