She has a concentration in props and especially loves being able to sculpt and work with foams. She enjoys the process of taking a concept or 2D image and making it tangible.

Selected Work

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

I worked as both a Props Supervisor and as a Props Artisan in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Baylor University. One of the things I made was a statue of the Egyptian goddess, Bastet, to put in the opening museum scene. The original wood silhouette you see was cut on a CNC machine. From then on, the foam was carved, covered in elastomeric, and painted.
