Puppetry and Props
Puppetry has always been one of my favorite creative arts. I've appreciated the opportunity to work with several renowned artists and organizations in the field, and have written several books on puppetry (featured in my writing portfolio). My skills in costume construction, combined with work in foam, latex, fur, and other non-fabric materials, have been invaluable in both puppet and prop construction, and my performance experience (seen in my demo reel on my homepage) has proven useful in building puppets and character costumes.
