I have written for (and about) artists whose work is shown and celebrated around the world, and for museums, auction houses, and independent film. My favorite projects let me immerse myself in the world of an artist, institution, or brand, and then distill what I learn into text that is smart, creative, authentic, and accessible—without sacrificing nuance. And I love doing it.
My deliverables have included writing for email and social media, landing pages, press releases, catalog essays, interviews, product descriptions, blog posts, proposals, marketing brochures, and artist bios.
