Madrid

I have no delusions of becoming a "model"…I am simply an artist with a deep appreciation for photography & art in any medium. I am an advocate of artistic expression.

Occasionally, I am asked to model by fellow artists I have met and admire, as well as artists of different mediums and I truly enjoy it…hopefully it shows. Thanks for looking - Madrid

“Alive”
Spring has arrived and sprung within me.
My morbid winter is now retreating back beneath the earth to rest.
I am dripping, bursting, blooming like a pungent fruit hanging low and ripe on the rusted vine.

I find my thoughts are suddenly sweetened like tea to drunken perfection as they orchestrate a ballad…singing out loud the sacred hymn of my soul.
No longer do I wander aimless amid my wasted memories, stepping ever cautiously through my minefields of trauma and fright… No longer am I a self kept prisoner within those echoing chambers of solitude and despair.

The fire of my true spirit has returned to her cauldron in my belly and inspiration now races through my being, I have freight trains in my veins and butterfly knives in my head all working in furious, fluid harmony to resurrect my light.

Today I am a mesmerizing sigh of grace & pain. I am an impossible dance step finally done right. I am a story written within your own heart, scribed by fate herself 'neath the dim bask of an oil lamp lit in your soul. I am spinning like dizzied fire in the night sky lighting the way back home. I am, this moment, recognized again in my own mirror, welcome in my own sweet home and at last safe in my own skin - I am alive.
