I have studied various art forms, from graphic design to fashion design, and dance, as well as self taught expressions such as jewelery design and poetry writing. Each of these mediums has influenced my mask designs. I became interested in mask design while studying Anthropology, as well as vast metaphysical literature. My methods are all self taught and I don't plan any of my pieces, I just go with the flow. Materials range from velvet and leather to crystals,chain, plaster and feathers. Each of these masks were titled after completion. They became themselves I guess. I started creating as a small child and have found the true path of my soul through creation. I welcome any inquiries for commissioned works or creative partnerships such as fashion shows or photo shoots. Please refer to the contact page on this site.
