This page is designed for those with no knowledge and extensive knowledge of costuming. These pages are designed to aid you in these key costuming areas:

• Costume Design:

  How to, how don't, what resources are available on-line and off, the MFA program to suit you and many examples of my work.

• Wardrobe styling:

  this is the film/television version of costume design.

• The differences between opera, theater, and film/tv design, and a run-down of the personalities involved.

• Wigs and Makeup:

  you didn't think you were going to get off easy now, did you?

• OK, the singing thing: I'll admit it, I'm a mezzo.(see story of my beginnings below) Here's a singer joke:

  Q: What's the definition of a mezzo?

  A: A soprano who can sight-read.

NEW!Go to the How To Design A Show on No Money Page for tips and hints when your budget is $200.00. (and we've all been there!)

As you scroll through the pages, look for the mannequin. It may not always click like the ones above, but that's a CD note, (Costume Designer) a helpful hint to take you through the always adventurous, never-dull and extremely entertaining world that exists in a theatrical environment.

A mystery to me, but usually involve coffee late at night.

I started designing costumes twelve years ago, when I was in a show and someone said, "hey, you have to work on a crew." They threw a shirt and a pair of sleeves at me...After I taught myself to sew, the shirt had sleeves and I was addicted to that sewing machine, although I still perform opera on occasion.

• The thesis link goes straight to my "manifesto in process"

• The research link provides lists of valuable costume design reference books, sample pages of public-domain rare books and patterns and various costume resources.

• Film, theatre, and opera links list various productions I have designed, outlining the process through renderings and photos. There will also be links to newsgroups, other web pages and valuable job-hunting advice. (Don't do it! It's like a drug)

  Or join my mailing list to get updates on events, new patterns, and resources!
