Discovered her poem, quickly bought her book and fell in love with her straightforward, vulnerable way of writing. The Invitation It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.

I Now Know
I now know why the sunsets are glowing more than ever and they pour themselves inside me like never before. I know why the clouds seem to be silkier and the skies are brighter, taller but in so many ways so much more caring. I know why my heart is screaming after a voice that … Continue reading I Now Know
Motion
I will allow this motion to take place inside of me. I will not obstruct it, but rather observe its texture spiraling through my torso, bold and disarming. And because of this and so much more, most will say I am foolish. I will say I am simply as alive as ever. Drunk and enchanted.

"My passions and hobbies are not a quotation - I know why I love what I love.""I am ever-changing.

However, some emotions are bound to stay with me, and carry themselves around as a secret identity that I only make available to myself. I was skinny and deeply tanned. Summer break, which always arrived mid-June, … Continue reading Cheers to Life, to Love, to Joy!

And mind you, as a child born immediately after the communism fall, I had a very late exposure to the colorful wraps … Continue reading Life is Now!

Throughout my younger years, this season ment leaving my grandparents house and heading to the town for the first school semester. After a summer … Continue reading Falling again for Fall
How to release old pain
"If you could say it in words, there would be no reasons to paint. " - Edward Hopper One thing I've noticed during some painting sessions, is the avalanche of thoughts. Good ones too, but most of them are deeply disturbing. Memories, conversations, circumstances that have affected me more or less. They resurface as if … Continue reading How to release old pain
