    With a background as a museum archivist and costume designer for theatre, my visual arts practice is based on principles of research, memory, and compassion. I specialize in contextualizing historic situations into relatable narratives for modern audiences. Arising from the intersection of my expertise in the history of dress and experience framing historic artifacts, my illustrations cathartically show that what makes a character unique ultimately enriches their environment. 

     

    My most recent series, entitled THE FOSSIL FOLLIES EXHIBITION, is a collection of paintings presenting the foibles of a cast of dinosaur character set during the Belle Époque. It explores themes of social anxiety using dinosaur archetypes inhabiting a fictional Victorian urban environment. The collection showcases characters of diverse statures contorting themselves into the rigid social framework of the Victorian Era – a period representative of both manic optimism and rigid social protocols. I use this whimsical combination of subjects to hint at the underlying anxiety of an unspecified, impending cataclysm.
