My artistic practices include: theatre design (sets-props-costume-lighting & sound), fire performance, carving (wood, ice, snow), mask-making, puppetry, and festival, parade, and special event production, as well as juggling, and fantasy make-up.

 

Carving

I carve wood, soapstone, snow, and ice on commission. I enjoy the collaborative process. Whether you have a special space that needs a piece of original art, or more specific ideas regarding a piece, I would be glad to discuss these with you.

Masks

I studied mask making in Bali, and had a gallery show of highly varied masks created from found materials. I have created sets of masks for groups of performers. I also provide workshops and theatrical training for performers (adults or children) on using masks effectively.

Puppetry

I create expressive hand puppets for theatre works as well as giant puppets for parades and festivals. In the latter, I worked with Peter Minchal; the master Mas builder of Trinidad. My large puppet, The Ghost of Christmas Future, has made thrilling appearances at the Citadel Theatre of Edmonton’s Christmas Carol for many years.
