I have studied various art forms, from graphic design to fashion design, and dance, as well as self taught expressions such as jewelery design and poetry writing. Each of these mediums has influenced my mask designs. I became interested in mask design while studying Anthropology, as well as vast metaphysical literature. My methods are all self taught and I don't plan any of my pieces, I just go with the flow. Materials range from velvet and leather to crystals,chain, plaster and feathers. Each of these masks were titled after completion. They became themselves I guess. I started creating as a small child and have found the true path of my soul through creation. I welcome any inquiries for commissioned works or creative partnerships such as fashion shows or photo shoots. Please refer to the contact page on this site.

Personal masks are commissioned by individuals wishing to have a mask created for them. It denotes who they are at the time, what lesson or lessons they need to work with or on, or who they are in this lifetime.

Hi, I live in the U.S., and I am an Aviculturist. I have been studying on my own how to make masks and I find it fascinating. So far have made about 20, and most of them have feathers from my peacocks, parrots, and other Avian friends, when they molt.

Each character has a mask, or persona, whether they have a physical constructed mask on their face or not. For example, the lovers' masks are the painted faces of the actors. A mask has no past, it lives in the present. They are not effected by the events on stage. In other words, they never change. An actor's hands never touch the mask. Nothing can interfere with the gaze, the facial expression, of the mask. The mask is the center of the character. It drives the character and leads all action.
