Artist Statement

I am a playwright and film artist at heart. I love all forms of art and often overlap different medias per project. Whether it be making "Wonka Trees" for a set build, capturing black and white photo images, or writing a script, my art overlaps in all of the projects I take on. I have been called upon to make fake blood, bejewel costumes, make minimalist set pieces, and direct and design "Lion King JR.". I consider myself a crafter along with writer, producer and director.
