this world requires that its women wear many hats, optimally: wife, mother, lover, feminist, damsel in distress and whore. we're to be soft and tender, mild and meek, yet when we are called upon to pass a human being through our most sacred place, we are met with demands to stay strong, to be tough, to be a warrior. we are taught from a young age to take cues from our lovers and echo their pleasure; very rarely are we told to search for our own. we are born conforming.
always when we conform, pieces become lost.
we can only give our entire selves to that which nurtures our spirit and causes our souls to soar. only in that capacity can we truly be good to and for others.
today, i celebrate the me i have become. i embrace my flaws, i am quietly respectful of the unsavory experiences that pepper my past, for they are what have shaped my present whole.

i am an artist because i am also a survivalist.
Please don't steal my work. I'll punch you.

JonathanGF says:
"she pictures. her pictures. she pictures her
landscapes of a breathing body stretching inward for miles
angels too
faces more faces the same face
yet not
yearning me in to flesh and light and dark and soul
always beauty. all ways beauty.
she has that. she is that
all ways
picture the beautiful boy still growing
inside
her
and out
beside her, held for moments, alive
those same eyes, silence speaking
picture so many children
childhood itself there
right
there
dancing even when captured still"4th September, 2009

"i'm not really sure that my words can do justice. so i will just write what comes from my heart.
i don't know how long i've known jenn, but i know that she has changed me. the way i look at things, they way that i actually see them and the thoughts that her images evoke. her images are POWERFUL. she has so much to say. to say she is oozing of talent is an understatement. she just amazes me. every time.
I think the best way i can put my thoughts to words is to quote a line fom "As Good As it Gets" .........
"I might be the only person on the face of the earth that knows you're the greatest woman on earth. I might be the only one who appreciates how amazing you are in every single thing that you do, and how you are with Spencer, "Spence," and in every single thought that you have, and how you say what you mean, and how you almost always mean something that's all about being straight and good. I think most people miss that about you, and I watch them, wondering how they can watch you bring their food, and clear their tables and never get that they just met the greatest woman alive. And the fact that I get it makes me feel good, about me."
does that make sense? i realize the little details don't apply! but i wonder if the people in your daily life know how incredible you are. we've never met, but it comes through your work. your work is art. you are one amazing person. "nuf said" "awesome sauce"

"you inspire me daily...
the more you peel off...
watching your transformation
gives me strength
to continue in mine.
but most of all.
you make me proud to be a woman.
give me strength to be an artist
help me find myself
let my voice speak without breaking
give me the courage to not censor myself
give me the courage to shed..."23rd February, 2009
