Introduction
I have been serving creatives with writing and editing since 2011. I provide clear, empowering editorial advisement for book manuscripts and dissertations; college essays; creative and academic applications; creative writing; academic papers; and web content. I provide artists with an individualized process for their statements, PR, and writing needs, resulting in materials that represent the artist with power and precision. The individuation of my process reflects my commitment to full presence with each artist and gallery. I work with my clients to locate language that serves them professionally; elevates their ability to communicate about their work; sheds light on craft problems; eliminates disempowered thoughts, and unblocks process.

I asked Maura to write a press release for a solo exhibition of my sculpture and video works. The deadline was tight; my original plan for writing the release had not worked out, so we needed to get something together within 4 days. Maura was responsive and proactive, putting aside time in their schedule to arrange a Facetime studio visit within a couple days of my reaching out. During the Facetime visit, Maura was prepared with productive questions and incisive feedback/interpretations of what they had seen/understood thus far of the work. With an open and non-judgmental communication style, Maura was able to piece together the chaotic information package I emailed them prior to Facetiming, alongside pixelated Facetime images of my studio, to pull together a stunning text that spoke meaningfully to many of the ideas I was trying to work through but had not myself found the words to articulate. Maura was able to intuit and articulate the intentionality and source materials of my work without my spelling it out for them. The revision process with Maura was also smooth and prompt, where I sent back corrections/suggestions on their first draft and they honestly (without any brownnosing) either accepted or rejected my changes while articulating very clearly their reasoning for doing so. I enthusiastically recommend Maura for any art writing opportunities.

I met Maura in 2016 at a residency on Long Island. Her intensity and focus for her own work was obvious then (actually it was inspiring), and so years later when I needed some assistance with a few proposals and statements naturally she was the first person that came to mind. Maura is as professional as they get, she has an ear-to-the-ground understanding of the ins-and-outs of the industry, she understands art-speak and, most importantly, she’s able to draw out of from her client what it is they’re really trying to say, or do, within their own work. I was applying for a prestigious residency in Italy when I came to her for some guidance and dropped a heap of wordy ideas into her inbox. Over the course of a few weeks we hacked and refined my work together. Maura dived deep into it, she asked the hard questions and essentially lead me to not only what my proposal sought, but what my own work was about. Which is an invaluable trait. Any artist out there reading this knows how difficult it is to find that kind of dedication and attention toward their work from someone who isn't them. This is a testament to not only Maura’s skill as an editor, but as a patient and giving listener.
