Notes and Artist's Statement
Writing is a million things, some of it straightforward and some of it not so much. Writing has the capacity to take us anywhere, to do anything. It allows us to take perspectives that we normally can’t or perhaps don’t want to view. It mixes ideas and subjects that don’t seem like they should come together. But most of all, writing is thinking. As such, my creative works reflect my musings and wonderings and what ifs.
