Creatively driven throughout life, I have not had a dull moment so far… Drawing, painting, sculpting, fabricating, and special effects makeup are my weapons of choice! I love to surround myself with the strange and unusual, the “normal life” is too mellow for this motor scooter! I hold near and dear to my heart the genre of HORROR! I would love to find myself a creative home as a painter, sculptor, or fabricator for the film industry.
Life is made up of way more than is visible to the naked eye. I intend to see, touch, smell, and hear it all!

Title: Make-up Artist
As a technician, I have had to wear many hats, and learn new things on the fly. Each of the projects listed above required a variety of my skill sets involving sculptures in foam, clay, or wax. Creating master molds in silicone and various plasters. In the paint department I worked with brush, airbrush, and house paint sprayers. Experimenting with additives to create faux finishes and textured effects for set builds. I have created props and refurbished or up-cycled animatronic skins using acrylic medium. I have also created prosthetic appliances for actors, to which I have also applied the character make-ups to finish the final look.
