I've created a collection of dresses inspired by children's books. All the books were thrifted, and they've now been given a second lease on life as pieces of wearable art.

I made these for a major art competition in Grand Rapids, MI called Artprize, which is running now through October 1st.

My work is on display at the JW Marriott.

I included the colors of the transgender flag, and chose a beautiful trans woman as my model to show I’m capable of respecting the artwork that is Harry Potter, without agreeing with J. K. Rowling.
