Current & Upcoming Exhibitions
"Blending imagination and dedication, a cosplayer brings their favorite fictional characters to life. Cosplay, a word blended from “costume” and “play,” is a performance art in which participants create and wear costumes to represent a specific character from literature or film. Since I attended my first fan convention in 2004, I’ve been fascinated by the world of cosplay. Cosplay is an act of devotion and creativity. It is my quest to capture these acts in portraiture."
In a world of subtle nuance and meaning within meaning, presented for you in thread and paint, brush stokes and stitches, the most straightforward, one dimensional, what you see is what you get collection of our generation.
"My current work explores ornamentation and its potential to elicit a range of human emotions. Inspired by fashion, architecture, historical ceramics, and popular culture, I explore ways to manipulate decorative motifs to create objects that have a more intimate connection with the viewer."
