Artist‘s Statement
Art for me is healing to create, to observe, and to facilitate because I feel free to explore all the boundaries of many topics and emotions that are not always societally acceptable to speak about. I strive to create art that is provocative, that creates a connection between artist and audience, that is therapeutic for everyone without crossing healthy boundaries. My work tends to be outside the realm of “traditional” theater, and I connect more deeply to art that is experimental, physical, and extremely visual in nature, as opposed to pieces that strive to recreate reality to a T.
