over abundance of ideas and a penchant for trampolines. Now, having said that, I feel it necessary to elaborate. . . . I prefer to be thought of as primarily a sculptor who's chosen fabric as the medium. Although my website showcases the "clothing" projects I've undertaken, my spirit is tied to the undying images of Oldenburg's floppy vinyl hamburgers, the movements of Duchamp's "Nude Descending . . . " and the spontaneous singularity of everything that is Christo. While I've done many mainstream dresses for various events, my coveted client is definitely the person who has nowhere to go and just wants something completely unique to view that may happen to be in the shape of a woman's silhouette.
I studied at Syracuse University for sculpture and painting where I was able to develop my keen sense of color and aesthetic. I continued my training at The Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC where I learned the construction aspects of my visions. While in
New York I also developed an addiction for brightly colored candy and knee high boots.
Following my time in New York I moved to Los Angeles and continued designing and sewing for a roster of clients and events, perhaps most notably "Little Black Dress L.A." (www.lbdevents.com ).
In my true wandering gypsy spirit, I have since re-located to Austin, Texas in an attempt to bring a "pop" of color to the local art scene. I currently design custom creations as well as "wearable art" which may well include anything from fruity headbands to Uno card flapper dresses to formal gowns. I can create nearly any look a client may be in search of.
