"Ultra Feminine Warrior – celebrating energy, creativity, sacred power of women."
Carol Ann Rice Rafferty

My collection of wearable art clothing includes: garments, objects and accessories inspired from military armor such as gorgets, gauntlets and gaiters made of tulle, hand dyed silk, and illuminated with technological fiber optic light elements.

The journey provided the pure joy as I was researching trends, finding inspirations, drawing sketches, dyeing yards of luxurious silk, sewing countless woman hours of both hand and machine stitching.

Chills filled my body as I watched six special young women bring my work to life on the runway.
