“I am a writer-director, actor and painter. All of my art comes from a deep love for humanity and a calling to illuminate the sources of our collective struggle. From my point of view, it boils down to love and shame. My perspective comes as a child of abuse by an addict parent, where love and shame were on a constant and unpredictable loop. My sensitivity to and understanding of complex human patterns give me the scope and patience to make sense of it for others.”
“I'm not telling a story, I'm grabbing your wrist and dragging you onto a ride you may not be ready for. That's how I've experienced life. The work is visual, musical, energetic, full of love, and has my self-aware, zoomed out sense of humor about the bigger picture. The films are immersive experiences that pull the audience into new perspectives beyond the film. Thematically, my personal experience is all over the screen––I’m a queer woman and a victim of multiple sexual assaults, so sometimes that shows up. My characters are extensions of lessons I’m learning as I grow, having to face huge internal shifts while everything else is falling apart around them.”
“Growing up in a low-income household, you have to be resourceful to surpass that––resourcefulness is one of my most valuable tools. I’ve been able to survive through creativity and art.”
