Visual Art – Boston
I sometimes tell my story backwards:
When I can, I paint. I\'ve been to school for years and years, but my favorite art has been created outside of the classroom. Boston has been the best so far: the music, the arts, the people, the trains. I should have been born here.
Before Boston there was California. It was a whirlwind storm of sun and sacrifice, uncovering and recovering. And college. But that was all before.
Before Boston there was Texas. There was heat and family and no air conditioning to ameliorate either. There was love and secrets, learning and mistakes. It\'s where things never felt right and where I moved out when I was seventeen. It\'s where my house burned down when I was seven and where my father was arrested when I was three. It\'s where I was born. But that was all before.
