“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.

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

Happy 150th birthday @metmuseum. Here are a couple Happy 150th birthday @metmuseum. Here are a couple sketches from a trip there for a high school art class. I remember being so fucking excited to be in NYC, experiencing art and the world outside my small town teenage existence. Looking back, that was a formative experience for me, one that helped solidify what I wanted out of life. I’m sure millions of people have felt their minds open and their lives transform there. It makes me happy to know that I live in the same city as the Met. I think of it more as a recurring character in my life than a building or an institution. #oldsketchbook #2005
Big ups to @thegalaxyelectric for creating “Tomo Big ups to @thegalaxyelectric for creating “Tomorrow Was Better Yesterday.” I love writing to this album. It’s a wonderful soundtrack to create to in any form. I got the super rad reel to reel pin by supporting their Kickstarter. My favorite part of their campaign was all the videos they made about their writing & recording process, especially with regard to reel to reel recording! If you like music that takes you on a journey through otherworldly soundscapes, you should definitely check them out. #tomorrowwasbetteryesterday #artistsupportartists #thegalaxyelectric #retrofuturism #musicnerd #audionerd #reeltoreel #cosmic

Happy Birthday, Ms. Marshall. Thanks for the liste Happy Birthday, Ms. Marshall. Thanks for the listening pleasure, artistic inspiration, and spiritual guidance since I was about 16. I remember a friend put “He War” on a mix CD for me. I loved it. I listened to it over and over again. A few months later I bought “You Are Free” on CD from @jacksmusicshop. I still remember the feeling of driving home on the Parkway, summer sun beating down, rocking out to the album as it spun in my car’s stereo. It was even better than I expected it to be! The thrill of discovering a new (to me) artist combined with the feeling of freedom that only your first summer with a license can summon was a natural high. All these years and sound evolutions later, I’m still a fan. Not only do I love the music itself, I love that she proves that you can be shy and sensitive, you can have demons, and you can still be a successful artist. You don’t have to be perfectly put together at all times. You just have to have the urge to create and then you have to act on it. If anything, I love her even more for sharing her struggles and being willing to be vulnerable in public. #charlynmarshall #chanmarshall #catpower #muse
