The Giraffe

• Artist Statement

  The Giraffe is a story about growing up, told through the eyes of a freakishly tall giraffe. It’s about the things you take for granted when you’re little. I kind of developed the deeper meaning as I wrote it, it started out as a fun school project and it’s probably the piece that got me to love creative writing the way I do now.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity is the way you put your knowledge and personality to use. I feel that everything I experience and learn is, in a way, fueling my capabilities as a creator. I read, hear, and notice things that inspire me to create.
