This gallery includes a wide range of samples of my work throughout more than 20 years in my career as a costume designer. These have been carefully chosen to show different ways that the skills and techniques I demonstrated earlier in this book are put into practice.
It is not uncommon for an artist’s style to develop and shift over time, but I feel each of these is a strong example of my style of rendering. You can see how different techniques are more prominent at different stages in my career, or adapted to different styles of productions. As you move through your career, don’t be afraid to continually explore these tools as a means of capturing the true energy of your design.
