I see your mood statis says you're feeling crappy? I'm sorry! Hey I remember learning about this lady in an art class a few years ago.

A bit crappy. Thank you. Probably I'm just tired.

She's someone whose work I have seen but really know nothing about. There is something compelling, and yet disturbing about her paintings. It's like you have to look, you can't look away, like she is making sure you study her work and you know she is watching you do it.

I hope you are feeling better, dear, and can manage to eat more than porridge!
Take care. :))

I like how you said, it is exactly. Her art is very disturbing but still it's full of life. I think she also got a piece of 'female' Dali in her paintings, for me it seems very similar. Anyway, it can't leave indifferent.

I'm feeling a bit better, I had a cottage cheese and some crackers. It was OK. But my stomach still hurts. It needs to see a doctor ehhh.

I've never really seen any of her artwork before, it's quite compelling
