Artist statement
My intent as an artist is to write about the intersection of virtue and adventure. I do this through a variety of mediums including poetry, prose, and spoken word.
The pandemic allowed me to look outside myself and refocus on community building and opportunity sharing, through art. To that end, I created and opened St. Joseph's Home for Artisans, a home for early career, low-income artists. In exchange for housing and creative fellowship, the artists are asked to give back to the Boston community through concerts, exhibits, and skill-sharing classes.
I believe the beauty and service will save the world.

i MET HIM: THE BEST MANi met him series // july 1, 2019I met him at the end of the dinner table.
“Ya know what?” I pointed my steak knife at him, carving my words into the air between us. “I’m really glad you’re here. I needed a friend.” He picked up his own knife and crossed it with mine, signaling the beginning of a duel. “Is that all we are? Friends?” I faltered, losing ground. Laid my cutlery down in surrender and leaned in. “I’m not sure that we can be much else.” 
I MET HIM: THE PIRATEI MET HIM // JUNE 20TH, 2016He turned his empty beer bottle upside down, emptying the last drop . Holding the bottle neck to his eye, he peered at me through his makeshift spyglass. “Aye matey, fancy a bite to eat?”
I rolled my eyes and hopped off my peg-legged barstool. The sticky floor seemed to rock below me. I swayed along with the churning waves in my stomach. |
