I love writing about art and see myself as a visual thinker.

The women I paint are always portrayed not
just for their physical beauty but to emphasize their complexities, challenges, strengths and vulnerabilities.

... the dreamy interiority of the poets I loved felt like an untouchable refuge.

I enjoy rooms full of bright faces of all ages.

I realized that when you focus on one person, when you narrow the lens, it deepens the story.

I love all kinds of writing and forms—it's a chance to play, contort yourself into a particular kind of pattern and figure out how to write within that constraint.
