Two years previous I moved to utah, not of free will but to survive. Your art has always been some of my absolute favorite, and a lot of the haunting, echoing exploration and want that I felt in it got me through rediscovering myself and kept my sense of wonder in it. As a writer, it helped me refill this new state with ghosts as well and generally massively inspired a lot of my work. Imagine my surprise when I found out you also lived here! I've sadly missed out on getting any sort of print from ya personally, and am soon moving back to my home state to try again as a new person. I plan to put up prints and tapestries of all my favorite artists, you included, on every wall. Thank you for your work which has been so important on my journey thusfar, and good luck in this dry as hell but beautiful winter.

This is a beautiful message and I’m grateful that you sent it to me. I’ve lived in Utah for the entirety of my post-school art career and this has certainly influenced what I choose to paint, and how, and I’m touched to know that my art impacted your time here and had some part in inspiring your own work. That’s about the best thing I could hear from someone. Wishing you excellent luck for your new life in your home state. We will miss you!

soft morning through heavy fog, gloomy in the best way, the trees falling away green-black into milky air—and then the sun presses through briefly to touch these million hanging molecules of water, some ecstatic ricochet of light, a lens made of a hundred lenses, all worlds turning over, reflected in each other—and i like being alive! i like to live!!
