Art Makes Columbus!

I happen to live in a pretty amazing and artistically vital city and I’m proud to say that I was chosen to be one of the featured artists in the Greater Columbus Arts Council’s “Art Makes Columbus” campaign and so, recently they asked me a few questions to see what makes me tick as an artist. Read

Dentelle Dorée – A Leather Wedding Anniversary

Recently my friend and neighbor, Amanda, told me that she was getting ready to celebrate her “leather anniversary”. I had heard of  tradition of giving one’s spouse gifts made of specific materials depending on how many years the couple has been together, but I didn’t realize there was one wedding anniversary specifically for leather. Depending on which chart you follow,

An Education in Couture Embroidery

Back in April, I was awarded an educational grant by the Greater Columbus Arts Council in order to study with one of the premier British embroidery firms, Hand & Lock.

A Gilded Age Corset

I recently completed this commission for my client in Dubai. She had fallen in love with an extant corset in a private collection and requested that I try to reproduce it as closely as possible. The completed corset is made of black silk satin, silk embroidery, hand applied lace, and a historic reproduction busk closure that is engraved with gilded laurel wreaths. The authentic period pattern is comprised of 24 pattern pieces and so recreating this was a true challenge and labor of love which I really enjoyed. I’m already dreaming of different color combinations in this same pattern….

Conversation with Broad & High TV Show

It was a pleasure to reconnect with the producers of Broad & High recently when they came out to my studio to talk about my recent commission for the PBS TV show Mercy Street.

Riddle Me THIS!

What has 32 bones, 34 eyes, 2 tails, and a purple and green skin? A Riddler-themed corset, of course! Inspired by the character the Riddler in the DC Comics Batman series, this is the third commission from a client of mine who lives in Kansas. She wanted this corset for a comic convention she is attending

Vampire Queen Corset

My client Monica requested her corset be “Gothic in red and black leather”, so we chose the smoothest, satin finish black leather paired with red metallic leather. We added the details of metallic red leather piping and a black beaded Swarovski crystal jewel at the décolleté. I love how the metallic red leather really glows and
