Maskmaking
Fae Masks for Nüwa In Fairyland
emShakes Theatre Co., Spring ‘26
The bases for each of these masks were pre-built mask bases, which I built up with thin foam, paper, and hot glue for raised detailing
Finished Puck mask
Inspiration for mask design
Finished Oberon mask
Cow Mask and Costume for Gypsy
Southeast Summer Theatre Institute, Summer ‘24
The base of the mask was built by the show's costume designer, then was passed onto me
I filled the inside with a layer of plastic wrap then stuffed the mask to give it shape
The first few layers were paper mache, then I moved onto plaster
The original pattern for the mask, which I used to cut out the cow print fabric for its "skin"
I built, fit, and altered both the poncho and pants
