Artistic Statement

Artistic Statement

As a storyteller, I want to inspire people the same way stories have inspired me throughout my life. From tales that span the hero’s journey to character studies, historical period pieces to futuristic sci-fi adventures, my through line perspective is always to stoke the flames of ingenuity, provoke thought, and tug heartstrings. My stories illuminate unique facets of life by challenging engrained mindsets and ideas with a fresh perspective through my distinct, personal prism into the human experience.

I truly believe we are all one and by learning each other’s stories, we embolden compassion for one another…the antidote to ignorance fueled prejudices. From this core value, my passion to tell diverse stories was born. It is what galvanized my spirit to storytelling while many other forces in my life pulled towards other directions. The genres I am drawn to are drama, action/adventure, and scifi/fantasy, with the occasional dramedy.

Finally, as someone who is a perennial student, always learning, always growing, I want my work to motivate other people to keep that erudite fire lit as well. The words we think, say, read and write on a daily basis have an impact. They matter. By sharing different perspectives, my goal is that my art, however incrementally, can open hearts and minds, thus improving the world we live in together.
