These paintings are often inspired by specific myths or snippets of folklore, and sometimes serve as studies in the process of creating a sculpture. Each is one of a kind. Some utilize gold leaf for details. Many are available as giclee prints through my etsy shop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e30207e4b087ba60e8328a/1453072224288-SFM24R6CI6B1MF7OKSDR/WINGS.jpg Fine Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e30207e4b087ba60e8328a/1632413249648-OJ2F92L9VUJ767LQ6NIY/IMG_6192+2.jpg Fine Art - Sculptures Created by combining found objects with multi-media sculpture, I focus on creating vignettes of moments inspired by a wide range of myths and folklore. Often, I write my own tales for the pieces. Each sculpture is one of a kind and hand-sculpted. I do my own woodworking and am the proud owner of my own magpie’s hoard of interesting pieces awaiting their turn to become a sculpture. The stories that accompany the pieces are displayed at in-person events, and accompany the sculptures to their new homes. I hope one day to compile the stories and sculptures into a book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e30207e4b087ba60e8328a/1669055202843-AW7HQ57R8L8QDDX4K1V5/IMG_5373.JPG Fine Art - Ornaments and Jewelry These pieces are made by me in limited runs. I enjoy revisiting block printing every year to create new wood ornaments, creating new designs annually. https://annawooden.com/home daily 1.0 2025-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e30207e4b087ba60e8328a/db49687f-2a50-4dda-99c1-367bb765b691/Screen+Shot+2024-01-23+at+12.28.25+PM.png Home - Upcoming shows LAVENDER MEN - About Face Theater HAPPY SONGS ABOUT UNHAPPY THINGS -Short Film by Nikki Lynette https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e30207e4b087ba60e8328a/cb8d5a33-d57e-46e2-bdc5-0b0e2a5305a9/Hair-191-X3.jpg Home - HAIR https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e30207e4b087ba60e8328a/f5003d65-08cf-4613-9296-a4ca8acce3a7/gepetto.jpg Home - Pinnochio PINNOCHIO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e30207e4b087ba60e8328a/be335436-bc9a-4e0f-a6ac-d01e770c7719/LP5.jpg Home - The LAramie Project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e30207e4b087ba60e8328a/1668462900625-WXXMOURZ1807WPYDO0B0/FacebookDance2.jpg Home - FILM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e30207e4b087ba60e8328a/4bd705ac-2c63-42a4-b2d4-570e5bb78859/DSC_3098.jpg Home - MARYS SEACOLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e30207e4b087ba60e8328a/3e672d5f-e2db-40c4-9b00-15bcfc60c4d1/70341071_10156509345612653_5181147619010805760_n+%281%29.jpeg Home - WHOSe BODY?

And often, they’re the most fun. I’ve added lights to wings, given them movement with leather feathers, created piles of garbage that walk around the stage, and built sculptures that can be transformed and mutated at a whim by a dancer. Let your imagination can take flight, and I’ll make it happen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e30207e4b087ba60e8328a/1668712458427-Y6XSA30EY9GCFSAOLVJC/Hair-517-X3.jpeg Maker - Distressing The art of age. Distressing is often the final touch before the costume hits the stage. It supports the designer's storytelling, and melds the piece with the world. And in the best of worlds, it looks lived-in and adds to the costume, and you don't say "Wow! Look at the distressing!" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e30207e4b087ba60e8328a/1668722804944-GXL1E5UFKXTZWS3CXFRO/IMG_6015.jpeg Maker - Props Props are the little details that make all the difference. The bits and bobs that the characters interact with are what make the world feel complete. And puppets? Well, they’re the best magic around. They’re enchanting, and we hang on their every gesture. I’ve built cloth puppets, shadow puppets, and toy theater productions. You can even see some of my friends in commercials! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e30207e4b087ba60e8328a/1668712348514-3ZT7K0DJ3QCDJ3YPBYRT/Dye3.jpeg Maker - Dye Work Fabric meets chemistry magic. Finding the perfect swatch or piece is hard. Sometimes you can search the world over and not find the right shade of green or scale of pattern. Dyeing and fabric modification lets the designer achieve exactly the look that they want. And it's just a bonus that I get to look like a magician along the way! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e30207e4b087ba60e8328a/1668711324667-UFL5XU30LRQES0CHGNAZ/LTC_20K_5115_Ensemble-Member-Kareem-Bandealy.-Photo-by-Liz-Lauren-800x533.jpg Maker - Masks and Millinery Sometimes, a full or partial mask is the complete transformation that you need! I have built paper-mache, thermo-plastic, leather, fabric, and poured latex masks. Depending on the character and circumstances, there's always an answer. Hats are an essential part of many characters. I love to work with designers to create exactly the item they envision. I’ve built hats with buckram, felt, and even plastic. Got an odd material in mind? I’d love to help you build it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e30207e4b087ba60e8328a/1668724493332-W7HT98NA5M4K2P6TKFIH/lionness.jpeg Maker - Armor Creating armor that fits the movement requirements as well as the aesthetic goals is always a fun challenge. Careful attention must be paid to the fit and adding hidden stretch helps accommodate a wider range of gestures. Sculpting texture and filigree, custom dye applications, and adding metallic details are all tools I use to make each piece match your vision. https://annawooden.com/about-2 daily 0.75 2022-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e30207e4b087ba60e8328a/1632420086848-FXSRA8Z85WGP0T202VXF/IMG_5725%2B2.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
