Artist‘s Statement
As a writer and artist, I always try to really challenge myself. I attempt new genres and formats and commit myself to doing things I never thought I could. However, I always stick to what I feel characterizes my work—writing about the smaller things. The quiet and not-so-quiet moments that build our everyday lives, the little things that are often part of something bigger than all of us. That, I feel, is where I find the best stories.
