For me, theatre and painting are world building and dream making — they are visceral, emotional, and cerebral. My own artistic vision transpires through the act of piecing together unlikely components, creating juxtapositions among the material, subject, and tone to create stories that live just on the tips of our tongues.
I am a theatre director, scenic and costume designer, scenic artist, and fine art painter constantly exploring new media and diversifying my skillset. My multi-faceted experiences serving in the Peace Corps in Madagascar, conducting academic research in west Africa, teaching at the university level, and working as a well-rounded theatre maker means I have accumulated daring, optimism, and vision and am always in search of the next project.
Having traveled the world, tackled masters and phd programs in theatre studies, and delving into my own creative practice, I continue to dedicate my artistic work to the worlds of imagination that can build communities by helping us understand and become more empathetic to the world around us.
I look forward to sharing my journey with you!

What to expect from a Live Painting
-
Consultation: A brief meeting helps me get to know you in order to gather your expectations and make sure your personalities shine through the painting. We will also discuss which moment will make the best painting.
​
-
Venue Needs: The more info you can provide about the venue, lighting, timing, and your theme the better. I will need a space about 5'x5' and a barstool or chair. Once you connect me with your coordinator, I’ll make arrangements to scout the venue in advance of the event. I’ll bring everything else I need.
​
-
Capturing the Moment: On the day of, I arrive during setup to start setting in background details. During the ceremony and reception, I’ll capture as many details as I can, and I’ll also take some photos of the special moment so I can spend a extra time refining those details.
​
-
Finishing up: After the event, I bring the painting back to my studio to make sure I have all the details just right. The completed painting will be available for pickup/shipping within a week of the event.​

Pricing Guide

There's a lot of variation that goes into mural making! Every project is unique and has unique needs at every stage of the process. I consider several factors when I develop a quote. Here are a few!
Design (how complicated is the design? how much detail is called for? am I designing the image or painting something that you already have designed?)
Logistics (will the mural be painted on site? off site and installed later? will I need scaffolding?)
Execution (on what kind of surface will the mural be applied? will I need specialty paint? from what kind of elements does it need protected?)
Portraits, Pet Portraits, Custom Paint Projects
The perfect gift for any occasion!
