Past Projects

Menagerie Art and Fashion Show

This gallery show took place March 7, 2008, arranged by MaryAnne Nguyen (Indianapolis). I contributed two pieces; “Zip, UnZip” (pictured) I built for the show. “Barbie Goes to War” was put together from pieces of my 2006 line of military separates. You can view other pictures from the show on the Nuvo site  and on Jammy Straub’s site, and there is a pretty great video of the whole process done by Pedro on his Avante network. 

Midwest Fashion Week—Sweet Revenge Line

I showed my lingerie line, Sweet Revenge, at the October 2008 Midwest Fashion Week in Indianapolis’ Conrad Hotel.  Cotton print pieces will be available at http://sweetrevengelingerie.com starting January 2010.

Global Fashions Show

I participated in a small fashion show held at Wingate Hotel (Indianapolis) on December 13, 2009. I showed some of my older pieces, the “brights” from Project IMA, a few pieces from 2006, and a piece from Recouture (pictured at right).  April is modeling the “Red Hot” dress for me behind the scenes.
