About Me

I am a writer, instructor, and artist. My work spans literary and speculative fiction, essays, visual and mixed-media art, and trainings/webinars on disability justice, reframing identity after a diagnosis, and long-term wellness for front-line social workers.

About

Writing

Literary science fiction, speculative fiction, essays, and non-fiction, with special interest in identity, othering, and memory. I started publishing professionally in 2000.

Art

I work in acrylics, watercolors, and polymer clay: remixing anthropomorphism, folk motifs, and the supernatural, tempered by joy in the mundane.
