Tools & Techniques
The Paintings are created in watercolor and ink with metallic liquid leaf accents. I do a lot of prep work with thumbnails, fashion design plates, and sketches before I even move to inking the final line art on illustration board.

The Masks are created out of 8 oz. leather which is carved and tooled with special leatherworking tools. The leather is then soaked in water and hardened by baking. It is then decorated with leather dyes and acrylic paints. Finally, the masks are sealed with satin varnish for a protective final touch. They are affixed to the face with organza ribbon.
