Artist‘s Statement

I write scripts that confront the complexities of familial love, romantic love, and look unflinchingly at female sexuality and identity. I tell stories about women pushing up against societal and personal barriers, who feel it is psychologically and emotionally dangerous to be themselves out in the world, but are determined to put down roots of their own. My voice emerges from the girl I was who had to hide her true self in order to survive. That girl now comingles with the woman I have become.
