“In my life, a certain kind of seeking has emerged. It is a seeking for stories and ideas and rhythms that resist and yet also, transform.

For me, my work is not about naming the world’s many ills, but it is not about escapism, either. It is about imagining a more beautiful, thoughtful, generous way of existing that is neither hopeless nor instrumental, but is instead thoughtful and questioning and open -

My work is about beauty and poetry, and becoming; it is spiritual in that it addresses the inner life, but the position is firmly rooted in the logical and the explicit. My hope is that by telling my story, I will give my readers, and perhaps past versions of myself, the practical tools we need to bring us one step closer to our own inherent truth.”
