I’ve been on the road since ‘21 looking for work I can do… now back in my home state. I live with the repercussions of a sports injury… spinal misalignment, two fused discs, degenerative disc disease and chronic illness. I’ve tried for a very long time to function like everyone else but in 2014 I burnt out, quit subbing and haven’t worked since. Before I left NM to seek wellness and like-minded people, I was doing portrait in pencil, pen and ink and water color with acrylic.

I’m still between places… in my car, but I found a decent gym finally. Unfortunately I am slacking on Falun Dafa study and exercise so my improvement has slowed to nil. It’s such a challenge not having my own space from dinner time on at night. I seek a live-work situation and maybe I can return to health improvement, eating healthier and doing portraits for $$$. I’m considering selling my car and moving abroad, to the islands or just driving to the Keys. Opportunities come and go… I’m still shocked by the letdowns but I’m still here. There has to be room in this world for the educated and “talented” though work-limited. This can’t all be a wasted effort… a massive sacrifice…

Fort Lauderdale… homeless life isn’t dull here.

… and time is running out for me to find a job! I’m not doing art because I lost my housing and am living out of my car.

I’m saving my videos from “My Journey Home” on YouTube here… for safe keeping. (I don’t have a laptop). I had wanted to be a driver and upgrade my vehicle… delivery? But I tried Door Dash to test it and their system was terrible. It was a really bad day. Anyway to drive PEOPLE… I forgot. I’m environmentally sensitive and it wouldn’t be good if I was driving along and my eyes watered up from someone’s perfume and I couldn’t see. I thought of a few optional possibilities. Watch and read on. It’s now ‘24…

I like showing the beauty of this area, although I am going through a lot of hardship to start a new life here. It’s been two winters now since I drove home to Florida for wellness… all the way from Santa Fe NM. I have limited time now (in January of ‘24) to find work I can do… injured, chronically ill and while living out of my car (lost my Section 8 a year ago). I hope to have a live- work space again someday so that I can get back to doing my artwork (portraits mostly), preparing my organic meals and having a healthier lifestyle in general… after all, that’s why I came home.

Enjoy some pics from my time here in lovely Florida, though under my file labeled "geoengineering". Reference to a good documentary is therein...

I promised a subscriber of my Youtube channel that I'd do a video on "geoengineering" or "chemtrails", as it's sometimes called. It's a way to share some shots from way back... Article clips obtained by Climate Viewer on Youtube.

Earlier in my journey.... I drove from Santa Fe NM to FL in the winter of '21 to try to live a more independent and healthier lifestyle. I'll be adding my videos from Youtube to Rumble... the ones I saved to my phone. Enjoy ☺ So, these streets are downtown and near the river. walking and driving around the neighborhood. https://youtube.com/@YvonneTheArtist

The Montanitas Coop in Santa Fe, NM

Can you tell I was tired? Graphite... mechanical pencil on water color paper with some texture... The plan was to use watercolor but it became so detailed. It's interesting doing art again... difficult to get motivated though. I look forward to my next assignment though.

Video from a failed move home to Florida in the winter of '16. It was pretty incredible being there in spite of the hardships while trying to get things to work out. Leaving... having to return to more security in Santa Fe, NM was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Pictured is the backyard of where I was a guest... helping someone pack up her things for a move. I was farther north than I wanted to be (Palm Beach). The family I wanted to meet finally was farther south for Christmas... in Ft. Lauderdale. That meeting didn't work out either.
