Born in Germany in 1999, raised in Connecticut over childhood, and shaped by disability since her return overseas - Doria Jeanne Nollez is a multidisciplinary artist, filmmaker, and writer who explores chronic illness, the diaspora, and dreamlike states. Her publicly showcased works include one solo exhibition and several film festival screenings. In her debut poetry collection Patient is a Young Woman, she reflects on a seven-year medical odyssey in search of a diagnosis. Only when she began researching independently, did she find her own illness, which was missed by dozens of doctors and was later confirmed by medical testing.
