This was a production of Willy Wonka for Boone High School in Orlando FL. The set was painted with Rosco Off-Broadway Scenic Paints. Colors used were Ultramarine Blue, Fire Red, Orange, Lemon Yellow, Golden Yellow, Purple, Magenta, Pthalo Green, Sky Blue, Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre, Pthalo Blue, White and Black. Also used were some Fluorescent paints, Blue, Red and Yellow. You can find some more of my sets, props etc. on my blog http://uniquelysprung.blogspot.com

In this scene, and because of limited backstage space, we changed the look of the scenery by overpainting with ROSCO UV Invisible Blue. The supernatural feel this gave the crypt was stellar.

For a lighting design thesis entitled Light Conversations I combined lighting with static art mediums such as painting to create moving pieces that offered social commentary. For this piece I asked theatre artists at Boston University to use the same 8 Rosco Off Broadway colors to paint whatever abstract design they wished on a 4'x4' square. Each of these was then lit with a color scroller randomly cycling through colors. This created a beautiful, constantly changing environment for an artwork about taking time to enjoy the simple beauty in life.

The scenic design for Sarah Ruhl's Melancholy Play was based heavily on surrealist painter, Rene Magritte. We utilized floating windows to both define and deconstruct the space. Using various, although connected, shades of browns and taupe we created a cohesive look to the entire space.

The back wall was a multi step scumble with a top dry rag coat of Supersat over a neutral base. The floor was a drop and spatter with outlines of canvases done in quick passes.

This was a jungle themed school dance that we used gobos to create a tree line across the stage.

A production of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum put on at Foothill Community College.

The following Steps were used to create this piece of "art". First had to build a 4' x 4' frame, then cover with muslin and seize. After seizing had dried I quartered the piece with a filigree designed that I transferred using coal dust and a perforated pattern of said pattern. Then using the Rosco Supersat. paints listed I painted and textured each quarter with contrasting colors. I used wet blending, scumbling, sponging and spray painting with contrasting colors to give the quarters different textures.

The drop was created through large strokes on white and blue blending together to create this vortex or motion. sprayers were used to blend the drop into the platforms and the stairs. The Stairs focused more on blue and brown bringing contrast and texture to the set.

The walls of the set were scumbled and distressed. The fireplace was carved out of foam and then painted.
