scenic artists in the clouds,  Opera Atelier's production of alcina, 2014


introduction

As a Scenic Artist for 28 years, I have painted 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional scenery for a vast array of theatrical companies across Canada. I began this journey in high school.  I had an inspiring theatre teacher who challenged me to look into a career in the arts.  I knew I wanted to use my visual art interests and somehow pair that with my love for the theatre.  I found a technical theatre program at Niagara College in Welland, Ontario, who was offering a diploma program in Theatre Arts.  Two exciting years of study in the theatre arts, led me to a career as a Scenic Artist.  I moved back to Toronto and began my apprenticeship by working with many different companies in the GTA.  I spent an incredible summer at the Banff Centre learning how to paint opera scenery.  I came back to Toronto with a wealth of knowledge and a desire to excel.  I am proud of my accomplishments and my contributions to Canadian theatre! I currently still work as a scenic artist and am an honorable member in good standing of IATSE Local 828, Scenic Artists and Propbuilders. 

This summer I was asked to work on some wonderful backdrop painting for the upcoming production of Alcina, by Opera Atelier.  This toronto based company specializes in opera, ballet and drama from the 17th and 18th centuries.  http://www.operaatelier.com/about/vision/
