Artistic Statement

When I was a child, my mother told me that my sister was her favorite, because I was my father’s favorite and she had to make things fair. That twisted notion of fairness has stayed with me all of my life. My writing explores all the strange, subjective views of fairness we cling to, and the gray areas of injustice we struggle to make right without doing more harm than good.
