Barbie's PamperMe Prescription
Barbie’s PamperMe Prescription
Barbie: the epitome of an Aryan princess with blue eyes and long, blonde hair; she never tires. The only bags she has are fashionably placed in a Barbie Dreamhouse walk-in closet which would only be as meticulously organized by a 6-year-old girl. This same girl felt more small joys in organizing her toys than playing with them. This same girl admired Barbie for her naturally thin, naturallysucces…

Ash’s Speech
“For those of you who don’t know me, I used to work in research in neuroscience, and in neuroscience, we like to research our external environment. Without further ado, raise your hand if you have sweaty armpits right now? I know I do standing on this stage. Can you tell it’s my…

In Sandman's Absence
In Sandman’s Absence
In the Sandman’s absence, a black hole of loneliness, jealousy, and sadness can take hold. The average individual requires 7 to 8.5 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period. The time needed for rest varies on the individual and the amount of external information entering the brain at a time. Sleep regulates a multitude of bodily functions such as body temperature, mood, learning and memory, and immune…

Acquitting the Brain
How do I forgive myself for what I fear most? I feel my brain roll, as if to the cooler side of the pillow, ejaculating darkness to the top of its world. Like an uprooted tree, the pitch uncoils it’s furls from the sodium growths. It progresses to the deepest grottoes of my mind. The infection slicks by as circles dance at my feet. Each offense, each victim, each face, each breath, each abuser,…

Brain Misconceptions, Part II - FINALLY!
Brain Misconceptions, Part II – FINALLY!
Here it is! The Brain Misconceptions, Part II. If you read my previous post, I have been entrenched with exams and work, and I haven’t had much time to write, much less do research for this blog post. But here it is – finally! The “Crimeful Men” section took the longest to write just based on research and attempting to sort through the points I wanted to make. I was honestly caught between…

Horray, Imagine!
Imagine – shooting a 15 to 30-minute short film within three days with a 3 person crew- not including the lead actress. There isn’t a lot of dialogue, but there is a lot of location changes, early mornings, late nights, no bathroom breaks, and being kicked off locations or having to cut shooting short. This doesn’t even include the extra actresses used on set, the makeup, and don’t even get me…

Need a tampon?
Before I finish Part II Brain Misconceptions Series, I just want to address a disorder that is true to me. It took me these past two weeks to complete the painting shown below. It is a 6 inch by 6-inch hardback canvas in oil paint. Although I had a more detailed project I was working on, the techniques and colors involved in the one below were basic. Technically it was a project which should’ve…

So fortunate to have this opportunity to share my story and goals! I met a fellow artist/contributor to Voyage Houston at Fine Life‘s Art Fundraiser for Shark Week. I’m so glad I was able to contribute my artwork to the show and Voyage Houston. I’ve recently been extremely busy with work and school, not to mention being sick for the past week, so I haven’t had time to research Part II of Brain Misconception Series but here’s a little preview of what’s to come:
Tomorrow, I will be giving my first talk on Neuroscience and the Effects of Art Therapy at Fine Life’s Open Mic, Open Heart, Open Mind at Muchmore’s bar & cafe at 9PM. All are welcome! Some of my most recent unpublished pieces will be available for purchase and entry is free if you contribute to the canned food drive! I also want to thank Justin Frabasile for being a big help and taking photos of the art pieces prior to the show and keeping me sane during this hectic time!

10 Misconceptions about the Brain - Part I
10 Misconceptions about the Brain – Part I
You only use 10% of your brain
Actually, you use all of your brain almost 100% of the time – even as you sleep, the body is healing while the mind is cleaning house by making old connections permanent or canceling unused memory links. Additionally, stabilizing inner chemistry. As you sleep, the brainstem is active, maintaining breathing and heart rate. Even when you’re watching television or…

Me and my Amblyopia
Me and my Amblyopia
Self Portrait day! This is a portrait of me without makeup on a regular day at work – with my typical smile 🙂 I’d rather portray my honest, every day, wake-up-give-me-coffee self than someone who appears to be well rested and maintained. I care for myself but concentrate on my work more than satisfying my intense vanity and I wanted to show that here. Though, to a point I believe I have nearly…

Apart from the acrylic childhood paintings in my Granny's kitchen, I never received training for any art - whether from sketches to oil paints.
