Professional info
Art has always been an important part of my life, but my career as an artist really began when I graduated from college in 2016. Not really sure what direction to take in life, I began playing around with different media and discovered, purely by accident, a new art form. I call this art form collage for lack of a better term.
With encouragement from friends and family, I began showing my work in local galleries. I collaborated with other local artists on various projects and started attending art shows and craft fairs. While my primary passion has been collage, I also spent time making jewelry, sculpture and working as a costumer.
If you are interested in any of the works shown here, please contact me, but bear in mind that many of these pieces have sold. I am happy to work on commissioned pieces however, and can incorporate themes or colors of your choice.

Costume Designer at St. Lawrence University
I worked in the costume shop of my undergrad college, which I enjoyed immensely. I already some basic sewing skills, but I learned a great deal about costume making and draping while working in this position. I eventually became the special projects person and got to make all sorts or interesting and unusual costumes for different theater and dance performances.
Senior Costumer at St. John’s Conservatory Theater
I began working with the St. John's Conservatory Theater in the fall of 2016. I started off doing smaller projects, but gradually began making more elaborate and unique costumes. I have worked with them on numerous plays and have created costumes from scratch as well as altering clothing to create costumes. On several occasions I have made accessories such as crowns and fairy wings.
Independent Artist
I have been creating and selling my art at local craft fairs and through Etsy for about a year. I usually create pieces based on my own interests, but I also work on commission. I have designed specialty jewelry and costumes for both individuals and organizations.
