//art reviews & essays\\
I have been writing casually and seriously about art and related topics since 2005, most extensively between 2012 to 2018.
It is my purpose as a writer to engage with art in thoughtful and meaningful ways, enticing readers to view and understand artwork and the issues surrounding the arts beyond first glance, beyond the surface.
