Moirai
“The Moirai were the goddesses of fate who personify the inescapable destiny of man. The individuals were Klotho, the “Spinner,” who spun the thread of life, Lakhesis, “the Apportioner of Lots,” who measured it, and Atropos, “She who cannot be turned,” who cut it short.” . . . Finalist in Timothy Hung's 2017 "Haunted Beauty" competition

Octopus & Butterfly
Inspired by an antique brooch named "Tintenfisch und Schmetterling," crafted in 1900. For this project I attempted to reach out of my comfort zone and create a more illusory image. The tentacles and large pearl were created from Crayola Model Magic then painted. All told, this may be one of my most complete transformations yet!
The Birth of Peach
From a makeup/photography series inspired by singer Marina and the Diamonds's "FROOT" album. There are references to Boticelli's "The Birth of Venus" in the composition, but a bright, modern flair. I crafted the shirt from recycled Ipsy packaging.
Capricorn
This makeup was from a 2-part makeup/photography series in which I explored and designed personas of the 12 zodiac signs. This piece in particular emanates the assured gravity of a Capricorn's cold control.
Alien Bloom
As is the case with many of my works, "Alien Bloom" was inspired by the surreality of early spring and the contrast between hard, dead stems and vibrant, unfurling blooms.
