Artist Statement
As a storyteller, teaching artist, and writer, I believe that stories can connect us, build community, and help us to see and understand each other. The arts have the ability to enrich and encourage all of us, whatever our age or situation in life, and can help support learning in remarkable ways. I delight in serving by being part of this process.
