When asked to write my full name, I am always tempted to include the “ę” in Siębor.

She hopes to publish short stories exploring her upbringing as a child of Polish immigrants.
Artist‘s Statement
This year, I really learned to capture my voice and understand how imagery fuels my writing. A lot of my writing is inspired by nature and nostalgia, often incorporating parks or weather descriptions to describe my emotions or childhood.
