ARTISTIC STATEMENT

Stories that dance with whimsy and pathos

My work for stage and screen is a playful, often absurd exploration of the human experience. Blending heart and social commentary, I craft narratives that challenge, entertain, and inspire. With a particular focus on LGBT perspectives and the meta-theatrical, I aim to provoke thought and empathy. My work invites audiences to question their world while always delivering an engaging and entertaining experience.
