| Introduction | I am a Performance Artist who creates personae and inhabits them using clothing, accent, language and study. My goal is to literally become another person. My projects have included an Edwardian Gentleman, a Professional Dominatrix, a 16th century Venetian courtesan, a 19th century female Pre-Raphaelite artist, poet and muse, and several others. I create or find venues where I can become these personae, and/or live their lives in my every day life. I have created social and support groups for some of these personae that continue to meet today. Second Life is my first virtual reality based project. |

Can you create art out of a daily life lived? Can the silverware drawer be a small art installation instead?
