Welcome to Gaia! :: Artist Gallery

I am me. Those of you who know me well know that.<br />
<br />
For those who don't: <br />
I am idiosyncratic, somewhat sarcastic, always openminded, ready to debate, willing to listen, able to be a supporting shoulder and sympathetic ear. I am a woman who admires beauty--true beauty, not the shit they push on you in the fashion magazines-- and see it in every person. I am a lover, and a warrior, carrying scars from both willingly and gratefully, as they are signs that I have survived and gotten stronger. I am far from perfect, but I accept it. I am a scholar and a healer, with a thirst for knowledge and disdain for ignorance and waste. I am a poet writing life's poetry, unapologetically but with feeling. I am passionate and unashamed of showing it. I am the fire and the embers, warming and sometimes caustic, but at the same time sacred in my own way. I confess myself only to my Goddess, and see no shame in it. I am proud of who and what I am, and what it took for me to get there. I am a child stuck in a woman's body, an old woman stuck in the heart of a child, and a cat stuck in the mind of a human, confused by it all. <br />
<br />
Who am I, then? <br />
<br />
I am a lioness secure with her mate, a woman ready to challenge perceptions but not push envelopes, but beyond all that...<br />
<br />
I am simply me. No more. No less.
