Artistic Statement
I tell stories. I find voices of characters I feel need to be heard and try to tell their stories. I write pieces with conflict, but work to find the soul in every character; no villains, but people with differing goals. I love working with others to create a piece with emotion and spectacle and more depth than one person can create alone. As a woman in technology with twins, I have unique perspectives on the world and a voice that resonates with a growing community, while still leaving me as a bit of an alien creature in many of the communities I find myself in. But as an outsider and an alien, I can see truths that aren't apparent from inside.
