As a costume designer with 20 years experience in theater, film, and event production. I have designed and worked on hundreds of shows in professional theaters in Washington, DC, Chicago, IL, New York, NY, Paris, France, Prague, Czech Republic and Bali, Indonesia. I construct and build many of my costumes and I am skilled in pattern making, millinery, wigs, makeup, and puppetry. From fantastical to period and historic, I have built original and unique costumes as well as shopped and managed wardrobe.

In the last 10 years I have worked as a public art organizer, producer and artist: organizing multi-art media events, visual arts installation, kids activities (face painting, craft activities, mural painting), hiring and directing of stilt walkers and cirque performers, Baroque themed events,

 

floral design, costumed models, floating river parade of sculpture with festival destinations, live musical acts, fire-eaters, live art activities, and film showings.

My teaching experience is based on my practical talents in different media; mosaic, glass sculpture, earthen building techniques and sewing. I am particularly proud of my work program planning and teaching with the Sew-Op; a not-for-profit organization whose goal is to spread the concept of creativity and utility as a means to building community.
