WELCOME...
From an early age I have always enjoyed painting, sculpting and telling stories. For me lighting design merges all three ideas into one, telling a variety of stories by sculpting and painting the stage with light. Lighting design should evoke the spirit of the story being told. On every project, from Theater and Dance to Corporate Events and Retail Lighting, I strive to collaborate with clients, artists and designers to compliment the story being told.
Take a tour of the work, and email me to begin our collaboration.
Thank you for visiting,
Drew
