Artistic Statement

Artistic Statement

Originally from Boston with a bi-coastal sensibility, I am an LA-based playwright/screenwriter whose work explores complex social issues through intimate relationships. I observe characters and situations closely, mining humor in darkness, and finding moments of levity in discomfort.

I explore big themes, yet illuminate them on a human level. Relationships, identity, trauma, betrayal, mental illness, grief, disability, choice-making, and female empowerment are some of the subjects I’ve explored.

My work is a blend of the dramatic and the comedic, with some magic and a few curve balls thrown in. I aim to offer poetry in my stage directions, as well as moments of stillness and silence. Healing is often at the center of my work in some form—although it’s not always obvious.
