SCENIC ARTIST & DESIGNER

LEONARDO & THE FLYING MACHINE

This project, which was conceived by Michael J. Sullivan and directed by Jerry McLauchlin, spanned over a long time period. Personally I was working on this project on and off for almost two years. This show gave me a lot of experience and really helped me create content for my portfolio before graduation.

I oversaw the painting of the set, backdrops, some of the props, as well as the puppet heads/hands. I was also a puppeteer and on run crew for the first run of this production at Baylor.
