The Impatient Reader is my ultra-short writing about art and other things. The word count is included, so you know what you’re getting into. (I’m an impatient reader, too.)

I’ve been writing art criticism in Houston since the late 1990s. In addition to writing, I perform regularly at The Moth storytelling events in Houston and I’m currently working on a longer performance piece.

It’s a beautiful old universe, and I feel lucky to be a tiny part of it. Thanks for reading.

p.s. I also founded Glasstire, the online journal of visual art in Texas. ​ More about me, and older work, here.
