“As children, we all live in a world of imagination, of fantasy, and for some of us that world of make-believe continues into adulthood.”
― Jim Henson

I am an artist, designer, and filmmaker. I love making dreamy ideas into immersive realities.

Live theater/dance/performance has come back into Live theater/dance/performance has come back into my life in a big way recently, and I fucking LOVE IT! Being in a space with other people, experiencing, moving, FEELING TOGETHER is just what the doctor ordered in this time of isolation. Thank you @piperdubz for bringing me to @sacredcircletheatre’s magical “Living Tarot!” 💫✨💛 #immersiveart #thewetspot #livetheater #livingtarot #tarot

Saw four lovely short theater pieces last night at Saw four lovely short theater pieces last night at @bricktheater, including one (the best one!) directed by @krausemonster. This was my first live theater experience since pre-pandemic times! It’s so inspiring to see how other artists figure out how to keep making their stuff and connecting with others through it all. Food for the soul! #wekeepitmovingbabe #creativityincrisis #livetheater #newwork

Got this fantastic vintage blouse at @beaconsclose Got this fantastic vintage blouse at @beaconscloset_manhattan yesterday! 🃏 🍸 🚬 Reminds me of my late grandma’s love of playing cards (even though she didn’t smoke and would’ve chosen beer over a cocktail.) 💖
Today’s ensemble was inspired by The Umbrellas o Today’s ensemble was inspired by The Umbrellas of Cherbourg ☔️ It was so hard to drag myself out of bed today after five grueling days in a row back at my old job! I’m struggling to be productive today but dressing up a bit always helps me get my head together. Trying to balance everything I have going on has been difficult lately. My yellow shoes help me stay optimistic and energized! Sometimes just looking in the mirror and seeing someone who *looks* like they have their shit together helps me convince myself that I do. #theumbrellasofcherbourg #ootd

I had a fantastic afternoon at @the_avam yesterday I had a fantastic afternoon at @the_avam yesterday! I spent three hours there and I could’ve stayed longer, but I had a train to catch. I skipped over an entire building of stuff because I had to prioritize seeing the giant, moving statue of Divine! I was rewarded for this by finding an Edith Massey dress nearby. Eggs! Eggs! Eggs! I didn’t get to do any John Waters-stalking activities like I planned, but I have no regrets. I haven’t been to a museum in so long and I decided to linger there longer than planned. Someday I’ll go back to Baltimore and check those haunts off my list! I’ve always been intrigued by this city because of John Waters’ early movies. I remember catching them on TV growing up and thinking they were like deliciously wacky postcards sent from a wild and strange land. They let me know that there was a wider world outside of my small town, suburban normie existence, a world where weirdos and their weirdo friends made weirdo movies together! I couldn’t wait to be a part of that world... 1 is The Apartment by Noche Crist, 2 is Divine by Andrew Logan, 3 is Baby Fifi and Fifi by Theresa Segreti, 4 is the Edith Massey dress...I forgot to take a picture of the plaque, so I don’t know the artist! If you do, please tag, comment, or message me 💖✨ #mydreamsdictatemyreality #pinkflamingos #visionaryart #theegglady #artistdate #visions #divine
Accidental pics are always my favorite. Took this Accidental pics are always my favorite. Took this of the ceiling at @rub_ulad while measuring how wide the backdrop is. Something about the lighting (I think I had my finger over part of the lens + flash? not sure how this happened) makes me happy. It almost looks like an IG filter.

I’m supa dupa behind on my #femalefilmmakerfrida I’m supa dupa behind on my #femalefilmmakerfriday #fiveminutefilmreview’s, but I did want to make a quick post about how much I LOVED @promisingyoungwoman. Spotting all the references to the ancient myth of Cassandra, musing over the design and music choices, and endlessly analyzing the ideas behind it with @electric_light was half the fun. This film is a candy-coated, pastel rainbow layer cake laced with arsenic that takes on rape culture with a mischievous wink and a vengeful smile. Every choice has been carefully considered by the talented cast and crew to craft a distinctive atmosphere that subverts the audience’s expectations for a “female revenge fantasy.” It’s one to watch again and again and appreciate new easter eggs each time. Side note: I even put pink, purple, and blue streaks in my hair because I was inspired by one of the wigs! Swipe for my messy Manic Panic version. #promisingyoungwoman #emeraldfennell #quarantinehair #careymulligan #softgrunge #pastelgoth #rainbow #diy
