Artist‘s Statement
Nearly everything I write is inspired, at least in some small way, by my memories of growing up. Whether it's a short story about a beach or a poem about New York City, my life seeps into my words, along with the art I consume and love. The performances I watch, the theater I direct and create with my peers, the museums I explore, and the music I listen to all play a role in what I write, how I write, and why I write. I can't define my writing style because everything I do is interdisciplinary.
