My journey into scenic arts began at a specialized theater school, where I worked backstage on sets, props, and scenic elements — and fell in love with the craft. In 2023, I reconnected with that passion through a two month training program with Reel Works and IATSE Local USA 829 in Staten Island, where I honed skills like marbling, wood graining, aging, and color matching.

Since then, I’ve joined the Scenic Artists Union (IATSE Local USA 829), working in theater productions, helping to bring stories to life through paint, texture, and illusion. This work continues to teach me, challenge me, and inspire me in unexpected ways.

Here’s a glimpse into some of the spaces I’ve helped create.
