poema 6

I’m excited to be here breaking in this new virtual space! I will speak out aloud, fleshing out my ideas for projects and respond to stimuli from the around the world around me. To show this will not be a dry toast bread ‘art blog’ I will also share my writing, my journal drawings on occasion, and of course the development of various personal works.

Images from the pieces on display at Vino Vixens coming soon!

Poema 6 :

Slip me down, underground where all the roots grow

Let me speak in rain drops

Let them whisper

Heart beats,

Children chattering,

Dreams untold

Sinking deeper

I am close

Enough to taste

She is everywhere

I am there

With her

A newborn awoken in haste

I can feel the wind blowing

Sweetly

From the room across the hall

Tell me about the last time you died

In the arms of sleep


The axe blade slipping in his teeth

Red candle wax was dripping

Fractal patterns on my skin

I am naked in the garden delighting in my sin

From beneath and from above

I reached for that apple

It was love

Then the storm it came

With sheets of rain

Into wooden long boats we were cast

To drift at sea you and me

Till the last salty tear was cried at last

Nevertheless she undressed

And jumped into the water

I reached and reached but the boat just creaked

Sun setting in her eyes

Quickly she sank

Beneath the waves to live alone by the mermaid graves

Again I implore

Slip me down underground to sleep by that sea shore

At night we wake and dance together

The moon, the stars, the ocean waves

Hand in hand

By the sand

Our spirits waltz and dine together.

Much ado about holidays

What do the holidays mean to you? Are they just time day off of work, time with friends and family a chance to eat copious amounts of pie? For me it is a sacred moment on the calendar. A gold star if you will. Where you are awoken from the slumber of your daily routine and awaken into authentic self spending time with people doing the things that give you satisfaction. Hopefully you and your guests part with the nutrition, friendship, and gratitude for a time well spent. Like the saying goes, merry meet and merry part. It would be lovely if that rose tinted picture were true for everyone. However, I have seen and experienced the other end of the holiday spectrum. I end up rushing around; shopping crazy, there is a need to get it just right. I imagine you and the family would be perfectly fine just having a simple meal and watching a movie. Right? The stakes all the sudden seem to be higher when they are big commercialized holidays looming such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Chris

Behind the scenes. Visual Elements Press: Under the Hallowmoon.

This October a two year long project was brought to completion. My talented illustrator and graphic design business partner Julianna Roberts and I conceived this lofty yet realistic plan of self-publishing graphic novels and children’s books while on holiday together with our husbands in Astoria, Oregon. We imagined as entrepreneurs it would meet the need of our creative selves that were not being fully utilized in our day jobs. Even while we attended Pacific Northwest College of Art, many moons ago, we noticed that our personalities meshed well and our diverse technical talents would apply well to a working business model.  Carolina Medina-Dupaix and Julianna A.B. Roberts circa 2011. Here we are in Astoria, OR. The beginning of Visual Elements Press would later come into being over a delicious bowls of clam chowder.  Under the Hallow Moon is an illustrated full color art book about the thirty-one days leading up to  Halloween. It began as a tiny seed, a persistent th
