With 15 years of experience writing about contemporary visual artists, built on top of a career as a writer/producer in film and television, I am highly skilled in researching, writing and editing in-depth narratives about art and filmmaking, including: • grant applications and searches for filmmakers (winning grant awards up to $127,500) • artist statements and bios, exhibition statements and press releases • proposals for public art projects, artist grants and residencies • essays and articles for art monographs (see my publication list below) and art magazines • original and deeply researched movie trivia questions While I usually specialize in writing about contemporary artists, including pop surrealism, illustration, outsider art, street art and graffiti, I am well-versed in elucidating most genres of visual art and photography. Over the years, I have been commissioned to write introductions for books on behalf of artists including seminal pop surrealist Mark Ryden and the muralist duo Dabs Myla, and have conducted in-depth interviews with more than 60 artists, such as graffiti pioneer Chaz Bojórquez, figurative painter Phil Hale, street artist David Choe, cartoonist/puppeteer/painter Wayne White, contemporary fantasist James Jean, graphic design wizard Aaron Horkey, and many more. A number of galleries have engaged me to write their exhibition press releases and other promotional materials, including Ascaso Gallery, Richard Heller Gallery, and Jaski Gallery. In addition, I have expertise in crafting impressive materials on behalf of artists for grant, residency and public art project RFQ and RFP applications, including artist statements, letters of interest, project proposals, community engagement proposals, professional resumes and project budgets. The artists I've worked with have greatly increased their percentage of placements on pre-approved artist rosters and finalist short lists, and have been awarded projects by the Los Angeles County Department of Arts & Culture, the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, the Maui Public Art Corps, and the Green Box Artist-in-Residency Program, among others. Prior to my work writing for and about artists, I leveraged my BA from Dartmouth in Film Studies and Creative Writing into a 20-year career as a writer/producer in film and television. In 2012, I was honored with a Creative Arts Emmy for researching and writing a documentary short. As an experienced production professional, I bring an extensive knowledge of film production language and processes to the table when writing application materials on behalf of filmmakers for documentary grants (including the non-fiction core format), as well as narrative film grants and filmmaking fellowships. My documentary grant proposals have won individual awards up to $127,500 from funders including the California Creative Corps, the California Arts Council, the California State Library Civil Liberties Grant, the Takahashi Charitable Foundation, the Saul Zaentz Innovation Fund, and the United States-Japan Foundation. I also have a great deal of experience writing entertaining narratives about film production and conducting in-depth research on film history, both online and at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences Library. My research and writing contributed to the successful six-season run of the AMC behind-the-scenes movie trivia shows "DVD_TV" and "Much More Movie." Having fact-checked, copy edited and/or proofread hundreds of books, interviews, essays, proposals, applications and letters on creative topics, I'm also an expert at sculpting an artist's rough ideas into flowing, coherent language that preserves the tone and intent of the original content, allowing the artist's voice to shine through with perfect spelling, grammar and syntax. Please feel free to reach out if my skill set seems like a good fit for your project.

A natural born project manager, it's actually my human design to juggle various things at once. This allows me to be more creative, innovative, attentive and connective. I view being a project/program manager as being an artist. Hence how I do what I do is unique to me. I am always connecting the unseen dots and intuitively making moves that result in coherence. Speaking of being an artist, much of my work has been with arts organizations. I have found that this fulfills my purpose with ease and makes the workload even lighter. I then become a representative, organically, of the mission/organization/cause. As I have the ability to bring people, places and things together synergistically. Completing a project or program is all about systems, agility, resilience and communication. As a scientist, by nature and nurture I am always observing and in recognition of every task being an experiment. I never get too attached to any one way. I keep purpose and vision in mind. I stay open to the possibilities and take nothing personal. Ultimately I am a transformer.
