Envision Financial annual report "The numbers are good".

Cedarshed Industries and Outdoor Living, two companies who create garden shed and gazebo kits for the handyman.

I dressed at least 2 dozen of these products on these accounts.

Plaid Magazine fashion editorial based on Frida Kahlo. Each set, styling and hair/make-up look was loosely based on the arc of Kahlo's paintings, from simplicity to extravagance to near madness. FYI, I painted the studio wall four times that day!
