By YONA C. RIEL. Monday, June 13, 2011. Recent artwork. please vote for the one you like best. On August 7th, 2011 I will be having my next show. It will be a booth at the ReArt festival put on by Next Step Recycling, a cool place that recycles computers and gets them into the hands of those who cannot afford them. Next Step does way more 'community service' than I can list on this blog so if your interested go here: http:/ www.nextsteprecycling.org/. I adhered a brass gear to the turquoise disk. The...

A creative's journey: San Miguel de Allende
http://yonacriel.blogspot.com/2011/01/san-miguel-de-allende.html
By YONA C. RIEL. Sunday, January 30, 2011. San Miguel de Allende. Being at least half kid myself, I laid on the ground and shot the church making it look as if it was curved rather than straight and minus the cross on top. Skip forward two weeks and I am back in El Jardin, only this time it is around 5pm and it's still 80 degrees outside. Most days the sky is an expanse of blue in every direction one looks. Today however there are wispy little "cloud-letts" momentarily covering the sun. A little girl wit...

By YONA C. RIEL. Friday, June 25, 2010. The Minimalist Blog entry. 'The Sea Purple'. Last night I saw the movie entitled 'The Sea Purple' at the Castro Theater. The movie was based on a true story of a (another) young woman, Angela, who refuses to marry, only this time it takes place in the 1800s in Sicily. And thank the gauds (after I got out of that house) I live in a place and a time where I do not have to suffer the abuses that those before me did. Thanks for reading. yona c. riel. Yona c. riel.

By YONA C. RIEL. Tuesday, April 12, 2011. The day MOM came back (aka Yona's birthday blog). Before my brain injury I was a mind reader, a multitasker, an excellent speller and a sharp-witted, cynical, confrontational, over-achieving bitch. If you have ever watched Grey's Anatomy I would most resemble the character Christina Yang (played by Sandra Oh). I stopped at nothing to get what I wanted. Jump forward 45 years during which time I have survived living on the streets, bootcamp and the marine corps, co...

By YONA C. RIEL. Thursday, December 2, 2010. 3 years later.December 2nd. I remember having the thought 'People die from the flu all the time' over and over that day and I pondered calling a friend to take me to the hospital in the final hours of consciousness. But I never made that phone call. So terrified was George that he ran back to the house yelling to his wife Betty "Yona is dead, she is dead. I just know she is". Call 911." Betty says like a person used to being in survival mode. It was only after...

By YONA C. RIEL. Friday, July 9, 2010. Journey to the Inside; Day three. The two pieces in this blog entry are the last two I did before my TBI in December of 2007. Like I mentioned in previous entries I despised these pieces until I uncovered their prophetic meaning. While I made them I was very aware that I was working subconsciously; digging deep much like an archeological excavation of my psyche. That kind of honest searching doesn't come easy. Written on it in the lower right corner. In the upper ri...

By YONA C. RIEL. Sunday, August 1, 2010. The Digital Works. the journey to the inside (continued). Sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks. (have you missed me just a little)? I been working on a show that will be at The Voyeur opening the last Friday in August so I have an excuse. (Just saying). However today since I have a bit of time I am doing a short and sweet post about my digital work. I was shocked when I found this out because what are the chances of THAT happening? That's it for now my friends...
