Artistic Statement

Artistic Statement

Originally from Boston with a bi-coastal sensibility, I am an award-winning LA-based playwright, screenwriter, and book writer. I write plays that are both epic and intimate, usually about relationships, and always about the human connection. I observe characters and situations closely, mining humor in darkness, and finding moments of levity in discomfort. Family dynamics, identity, trauma, and female empowerment are among the subjects I’ve explored - I delve into big themes, yet illuminate them on a human level.

My work is a blend of the dramatic and the comedic, with some magic and a few curve balls thrown in. I lean into moments of poetry, stillness, and silence amidst the drama. Healing is often at the center of my work in some form—although it’s not always obvious.
