I've decided

to start collecting my goals. I have never been a journaler. I never write things down, I like to say them. but I think it is important that my goals are in ink. I want to just talk, possibly ramble about my goals for a minute.

I want to own a building, I want to learn about green remodeling and buy a decrepit building in a large city and remodel in into a few large apartments. there will be a parking garage and a gym, but most importantly there will be studio spaces with a lot of light.

In this building I will open a community center for the arts, I will teach children about the importance of art history and give them the skills they need to survive in the art world, I will educate them on techniques in art that are usually reserved for adults, what I wouldn't give to have started oil painting when I was 10. High school students will volunteer with the kids in exchange for free classes at their level. and the artists who rent the studio spaces will get discounts for working at the community center and teaching classes about their methods, to many artists are secretive about what they do, I need people who want to spread the wealth of the magic that they create.

I want to provide opportunities to people.

This is the first post of The Pearilous Journey! This project is designed to help me start something and stick with it. I hope it will be a daily archive of my life. I need to take time for myself as a full time student, full time worker, full time girlfriend I just don't take time. I will post pictures, drawings, writings or whatever helps me get through the day. Thank you for joining me on my journey.
The story of a girl who decided to stop surviving and start living.

Here is a piece I call Coffee Stains, it's a couple weeks old but a great example of the kind of work i do to relax. It is coffee on watercolor paper.
