About me

FAQs about me: 

1.    I rarely start out with a plan. 

1a.    I often change my mind. 

2. My book, we who desire, published by Ben Yehuda Press, uses the text of the Torah (aka the 5 Books of Moses) as a starting point to explore themes of belief, covenant, liberation, choice, and yes -- desire.

3.    Most interested in boundaries and borders, how we divide space – physical, cultural, and personal – and constantly redefine inside and outside. 

4.    Ripping paper!!! I can joyfully spend hours cutting out tiny images from magazines with a good sharp pair of scissors. 

5.    Encaustic (melted beeswax, resin, and pigment) is visceral, unpredictable, and messy. Love it. Also, get to use a gas torch and occasionally set things on fire. 

6. The work of Mark Rothko gives me the chills.

7. Wish I was braver. More talented. And taller. 

8. Would never have made it this far with all the people who love me.
