An independent arts writer and editor with 16 years of experience in content creation for varied outlets including newspapers, magazines and commercial websites. Holds a BA in English Literature/Creative Writing from Princeton University and a MA in Visual and Critical Studies from School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My current book project, an expansion of my master’s thesis, focuses on recon/figuring the essentialized biography of sculptor Marisol to include her experience of living and art-making with Alzheimer’s disease.
Saturday mornings usually find me lolling in bed with magazines, an indulgent routine that sometimes leaves me feeling lazy. Would a reading nook break the continuum between sleep and relaxation? It would certainly give me a reason to wear a plush cashmere robe. This spot seams ideal, sited somewhere near surf, bright with natural light, cushioned by overstuffed pillows. My imprint on this world would see some clutter and a cup of coffee, yet still serene.
