November 6 2015 was the day of my first ever gallery presentation at Ro2 Arts' old location (110 Akard St.) downtown, before the move to Ervay. A Gardener's Runway was comprised of a small collection of hand-painted readywear and cut and sew pieces heavily based on natural and surrealist inspiration, live music that I composed, and Jimmy John's catering.
Directly working with textiles used for ready-to-wear items, (mainly cotton) reflects consumer awareness of natural resources and their sustainability. I seek to spread more appreciation for all things nature, in an industry-focused way of living life in most of it does; mainly in introducing produce in grocery stores, and transportation.
