Into the Woods Scenic Pics
Director Becki Esch asked me several weeks before auditions if I would be the scenic painter for Into the Woods. I said sure! At the time I had no idea exactly how that job would evolve, but my painting style lends itself well to the fairy tale look. After rehearsals started, she described her concept…
Journey Over: Post-ITW
Into the Woods closed and struck yesterday. It was my first show with this theatre company, and I served as scenic designer as well as cast member. What a wild, wonderful journey! The rehearsal schedule was a little ridiculous at times–at one point I swore I’d never do a Carnegie show again–but the end result…

Do you need a reason to paint a flamingo?
I’ve had the blue background painted for nearly a year, it moved from the last house to this one, stayed in the garage for months. Gathered dust and whatnot. Today, for no real reason at all, I decided to paint a flamingo on it. So I did. Acrylic on canvas, 11×14.
Rocking Chair Makeover
This was a much more long-term project than I’d originally intended. I rescued this rocking chair from the curb more than a year ago. The seat was ripped out and it had a broken support rung. I wasn’t quite sure how to fix it, so it sat in the garage for months. We moved from…
Sewing table makeover
A few months ago, I rescued a sewing table and machine from the curb. The machine itself worked fine, but someone once upon a time had the brilliant idea to cover the wood with three different designs of wood-grained contact paper. Contact. Paper. Over the whole thing. I dove into peeling contact paper before I thought to…
Game of Cthulhu
Latest project: some [non-regulation] cornhole boards that turned out way better than I’d hoped. My honey sketched the cthulhu outlines on the primed pieces, and I did the painting. Still need to seal them with several coats of heavy-duty polyurethane, but they will get some good use as the weather cools.
