So grateful to have been a part of ArtPop Street Gallery’s 2025 Upcycled Fashion Show! I had the honor of designing a jacket/jumpsuit combo using Janet Croog’s gorgeous billboard featuring her hand-cut Paper Tiger. My design is inspired by the stylized shapes she used to form the tiger’s fur along with the play of light and shadow. Special thanks to my amazing model, Amelia Lachowski.

My work is very diverse.

Over the years I have explored mixed-media, collage, painting, sewing, fabric design, upcycled fashion design, and icon writing.

Thematically my work explores the paradoxical aspect of beauty.

To me, something described as beautiful can be both lovely and threatening.

I feel there is a shadow side to beauty.

This surprising contrast is what I want to reveal through my work.
