Writing

Writing about art grew up in me alongside making art. They've officially been together in my work since I started reviewing dance in New York City and have continued their love affair in Tulsa's rich creative landscape. Here are some ways I’ve put this into words:

• A weekly arts & culture newsletter with a curated events list at Root Tulsa

• Tulsa Bureau Chief of the Online Journalism Project’s nationwide arts writing initiative, Midbrow

• Feature stories, interviews, profiles at The Tulsa Voice and Tulsa People / Root / other publications. Awards for:

  • "Dance of Life: Ma Cong's American Dream": 2018 Best Entertainment Feature, Oklahoma Society of Professional Journalists

  • “A Soft Place to Land,”: 2019 Best Feature, Oklahoma Society of Professional Journalists

• Turn of the millennium reviews in The Village Voice and The Dance Insider

• My late blog, Tulsa Dances

• My creative writing has been published in Menagerie and received awards in 2023 Tulsa City-County Library’s Adult Creative Writing Contest
