      <image:caption>This is a painting by Swedish Scorpio Superstar, Hilma af Klint, whose work I saw at the Guggenheim in 2019. When I saw this painting I felt like I was staring into my soul. I bought a postcard of it and sent it to my grandmother and it was lost in the mail. Anyways, look up Hilma.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - truth &amp; tangerines</image:title>
      <image:caption>My name is Chloe Christina and I’m a writer. I’m also a big sister, oldest daughter, women’s college alumna, and eternal companion to Joe, Stella, Keith, &amp; Sunny. In my day job, I write about the biopharmaceutical industry and interview experts from around the world. From a creative perspective, I love writing poems, personal essays, and sometimes even fiction. In September 2025, I completed my 200H yoga teacher training and now work as a certified yoga teacher. I love yoga, tattoos, talking about feelings, bike rides, meditation, good beer, plants, cooking, and the Pittsburgh Steelers. This space is an experiment in sharing all kinds of writing and interviewing all sorts of one-of-a-kind folk. If you want to talk, you can reach me at chloe.bell294@gmail.com.
