I am a cross-disciplinary artist & producer making work that draws from my background in devised theatre, performance art, writing, and entrepreneurship. My work often takes the form of site-specific large-scale containers for collaboration with other artists. Examples of these hybrid ephemeral art forms include CLAW (Charlottesville Lady Arm Wrestlers), a theatrical ladies arm wrestling league, and While You Wait, a mobile microgallery of meditation and mystery that pops up around my community of Charlottesville, VA. I also collaborate on devised theatre projects with my theatre collective of five women, PEP (Performers Exchange Project), of which I am a co-founding member, and other commissioning organizations such as the Bridge PAI and Victory Hall Opera.

My work is always absurdist and darkly hopeful--a seal riding on the back of the submerged whale. The comic astride the mysterious. I also believe that through the mystery and enticement of new forms, and by setting the work in public space, my work can be entertaining and accessible to all. Though most of what I have co-created in the past decade contains a thread of sexual politics, in recent years I have sought to find the connection between addiction, environmental degradation, and fear of Other.

One of my main inspirations and catalysts in the last decade of my career has been the disorientation of sudden traumatic loss. It offered me a short-lived severance from fear. Briefly I granted myself permission to do anything I dreamed of and the voice of my subconscious was amplified. I keep that experience with me and I seek always to offer to others through my work the gift of disorientation and joy. The marriage of carnivale and meditation. A place where time and timelessness interweave, self dissolves, and presence abounds.
