Artist‘s Statement
I write based on what I see and hear around me. My surroundings heavily inspire my work. When I am thinking about what to write next I take the things I’ve heard and seen and begin to draft characters and conflicts as they live in the worlds I’ve created. I love mysterious and thrilling stories, so that is what I try to emulate through my writing. I like small details that you have to think about for them to make sense, and stories that end with cliffhangers opening up room for discussion.
