I'm a Phoenix based artist event planner who loves costumes and working with

found unconventional materials. Although it began as a necessity due to the need to constantly be making something and not having much of a

budget, it is now a point of pride to be able to take something languishing and be able to give it new life.

According to Marco, I am his secret weapon, master solutions specialist and world-class fabricator/builder.  I love to learn and adventure into the unknown.  I’m a thinker and tinkerer.

And while I stood there
I saw more than I can tell
and understood
more than I saw;
for I was seeing
in a sacred manner
the shapes of all things in the spirit,
and the shape of all shapes,
as they must live together
Like ONE being. - Black Elk Wichasha Wakan Oglala Lakota
