  • Artist Info: I'm a mad 26-year-old alum of the Maryland Institute College of Art.<br />
    <br />
    I graduated in the spring of 2012 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Fiber, concentrating in Experimental Fashion. Currently, I'm developing product ideas that revolve around my concept of ‘everyday costume’ - pieces that together constitute a Renaissance outfit, for example, but may be worn as separates on a daily basis. I am also in the process of developing and Indie Lolita brand - Tempus Victoria.<br />
    <br />
    I welcome commissions so feel free to message me!<br />
    <br />
    A great deal of my work can be found both on my website and DeviantArt account, links to which are available here on my profile. I work from an illustrated concept that I use to help me design and make flat patterns for each garment, which I then construct piece-by-piece. I love detail work, and am getting more into embroidery and beading. Leatherwork has also become an interest of mine, and experiments in the field are turning out to be not only fun but useful!<br />
    <br />
    My inspiration comes from the macabre, a serious obsession with Alice in Wonderland; the Lolita, Goth, and Steampunk subcultures; the Victorian era, video games, literature, and other geekery; and elegant designs that I find in the fashion world as well as the natural world.<br />

    I spend most of my time sewing or knitting ferociously, and reading in much the same manner. My current residence is with my father in the "Charm City" of Baltimore, where he obligingly lets me utilize much of his apartment as my studio and workspace.
