Silicon Valley tech child turned Oakland art-making, third-wave coffee enthusiast, by way of the northcoast redwoods.

I heard Bloomington was rad but I also have some friends here who I would visit even if they were in Arkansas. @jenlouiseburri #captionmakesnosense #veganbakery #blueberryintomatosoup (at Rainbow Bakery)

“I don't think there's anything on this planet that more trumpets life that the sunflower. For me that's because of the reason behind its name. Not because it looks like the sun but because it follows the sun. During the course of the day, the head tracks the journey of the sun across the sky. A satellite dish for sunshine. Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it. And that's such an admirable thing. And such a lesson in life.” ― Helen Mirren. #sunflower #drawing #art
