Capturing Magic

Capturing magic: how I create wearable art - is a a story of how I found my artistic inspiration to create wearable art while working with my disabilities. I also talk about how I have had to change mediums and approaches numerous times but have chosen to continue to express myself artistically in different ways. One of those career metamorphosis’s was to start to incorporate film into my work such as this documentary. This docu-series was inspired by a dream I had in which a guide, in the form of a moth, appeared to me and lead me on a new path.

episode 2 - scene

In this episode I take you into my workshop and show some of the creation of the metal and leatherwork created for this project.
