Rencontre: The Creative Process

It has been a long journey but I have finally refreshed my Blogger page, I've been working on my senior thesis for the University of the Arts Craft & Material Studies show opening May 2, 2014. I will be featuring my work from the past & present, as well as inspirations that I feel inform my creative process. I'll be sharing bits and pieces of my adventure along the way with hopes that you can enjoy the in betweens as much as I do. Feel free to leave feedback or ask questions, and I will be sure to keep you updated.

Artist Statement

I make art for the body. My garments become extensions of the wearer depicting movement so that my work can be performed. Collaboration allows my work to become a shared vision, yielding to a transformative outcome. Creating transcendent experiences using the beauty of the body as my tool drives my current exploration.
