Fine Art Superheroes; Electrostar
My ‘fine art superheroes’ embody ideas about creativity and spirituality, through costumes patterned from Art Nouveau and Arabesque design. My process is interdisciplinary; I use wearable art to develop characters which I photograph and digitally montage to show multiple poses in the same frame. I also work with performers to create live experiences combining visual art with movement, documented through video.

Last Sunday I had the extreme pleasure of printing some of my large format photographs for my portfolio. For this I worked with artist Gary Duehr who offers use of his eye and his technology at a great rate. We worked together for two hours, I printed 10 photos at 23″ x 17″ and I was really pleased with the results.
Hi Everyone. Two great art events this weekend! The first, for selling my ceramic vessels, and the 2nd, for everything else.
