Artist's Statement

I write because I need to do so. I write because it is an ingrained reflex and a familiar choice. Though composing can be an egocentric and solitary process, I have been able to deeply connect with audiences and performers. Being able to genuinely reflect a communal human experience through my craft has been an invaluable realization.

Music hovers on the cusp between the tangible and conceptual worlds. Storytelling helps us to further bridge this gap. I aspire to merge these mediums to render another view of our world.

I want my art to be accessible to the dynamic 21st century global audience. I strive to continue to be innovative in design and content, as well as delivery. I hope for my work to be both inclusionary and intimate in our ever-expanding world.

I'm currently working on several projects, including two operas, a short film and pieces for prepared xylophone. Always researching new funding opportunities, I am also in the process of applying for several grants for artist support.

I am also hoping to add to my portfolio more dance and film projects, specifically animation. If you are aware of any possible networking outlets please keep me in mind.
