In July of 2007 I ran across puppeteer Blair Thomas at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Without warning or apology, puppets immediately took over my artistic practice. I apprenticed with the Blair Thomas & Co. from 2007-2008, building and performing in many grand projects that presented at venues from the Storefront Theater to the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art and even the Pritzker Pavillion in Millenium Park. At the end of the 2008, I left my position as Shop Foreman with Blair to return to my home in the Bay Area and begin my own solo puppet work. My deepest thanks to everyone in the Chicago puppetry community who has helped me find this medium. I hope to do you all proud some day. |
Photographs, Videos and other puppetry documentation will be uploaded soon. See my upcoming performances section for puppetry performances in San Francisco and abroad. |
