Now more than ever, we need artists to bridge gaps between people - filling in the negative space with stories that have always been there. My work is centered around that philosophy. Through the lenses of strong female leads, I explore the belief systems of working and middle-class Americans. I use complex characters in contrast with realistic dialogue to develop worlds where characters will either crumble under expectations or choose to rise above them. I want to provide those with simple jobs who struggle to survive but carry on for this so-called American Dream to see themselves onstage and urge them to question their impact on the world. I want to shatter the idea that art is a privilege by validating the experiences of those who have less, breeding a mutual understanding between classes and the weights left on our shoulders by generations before us.
