Curriculum Vitae

Built the bark surface of a large foam tree structure under scenic artist Emma Troubridge: scrimmed the form with glue-bound paint to key the surface, built up pre-coloured aggregate texture for rough bark, and applied soaked card for peeling-bark depth. Maintained tools and workspace to professional H&S and production standards.

Painted large-scale pantomime cloths for a professional producing house: scaled the design from reference on a measured grid, wet-blended up to four colours for mark-free gradients and black-lined to sharpen forms — painting the majority of the brickwork and correcting perspective errors in the original design. Kept colour consistent via documented recipes and old-into-new batch blending; assisted on-stage paint-call adjustments. Commended by the supervising scenic artist for confident drawing-out and initiative.

Researched, designed and hand-painted the production's scenic lettering, testing layout proportion, type size and colour for legibility on stage. Also painted walls and floor and finished the prop piano, working to the Head of Department's brief on a full main-stage musical.

Researched and made the reinforced timber fort gate (hardwood selection, studded ageing) and contributed to the brick-and-stone fortress walls: built sculptural texture, masked and blocked brickwork, and applied multi-layer ageing washes adjusted to stage lighting with the designer.
