My Work

Scenic Design

  

A Scene Designer experienced in a  variety of styles and genres.  I enjoy creating aesthetic solutions within reasonable budgets and on schedule.  I work to develop a design vocabulary that supports the overall production concept in total collaboration with artistic and technical colleagues.

Lighting Design

  

Colleagues suggest that I have a unique sensitivity to the lighting needs of a production.  I enjoy lighting assignments that require subtleties of movement and color.  Lights may be bold when conceptually appropriate, but may also poetically recede when that is appropriate to the design aesthetic.  A member of United Scenic Artists in the lighting category.
