The square dance weekend theme is “Sci-Fi Swing By.” A sleek space craft racing through the Milky Way was my vision, and translating this to a clothing design was challenging. Printing multiple colors is still costly, but going monochromatic was not so interesting. So, printing with the minimum colors on a deep blue background struck…
An annual square dance event, Peel the Pumpkin, is held in late October and hosted by Time Squares. This year’s theme for a circus theme “Under the Big Top.” In an effort to create a cohesive brand, the original design for the flyer was consistently modified to 10 other marketing items.

My goal this year for LCFD is to present a cohesive marketing portfolio, using a stable and identifying graphic across all media outlets. I chose a prancing woodland creature, specifically Squirrel Nutkin from Beatrix Potter.

After a successful revival of the mandala tshirt, I thought it was time to bring back an annual t-shirt for Lavender Country and Folk Dancers. Contradancing is very aerobic and makes you sweat, so having extra t-shirts is useful. Plus, it’s an advertisement for the events, so I opted to make one that could be…

My friend Lisa and I have birthdays mid-May, and we decided to celebrate each other with a free special dancing event. A potluck meal, followed by waltzing and contra dancing.

This postcard was created for a fundraising event for supporting art therapy for women with cancer. The organizer did not want to go down the obvious ‘pink-ribbons’ road, so I went with a brush-stroke shape that suggested a ribbon, and went on the purplier side of pink for the background. She was quite pleased the…
