My masks have appeared on stages in Ontario and in galleries, shops, and television in Canada and the United States. I have taught mask-making to groups of five to twenty-five people in classroom and workshop settings.

Most of my masks are made using the traditional Venetian method; that is, the design is sculpted in clay, then the model is cast in plaster, and finally many layers of paper are pressed into the resulting negative mould. This technique for creating the positive is a form of papier mâché called "stuck paper," or carta incollata. After the mask has dried, it is removed from the mould, covered with a very thin layer of spackle or gesso, and lightly sanded. The masks are decorated with paints, ink, and other materials. Many of the mask designs are also available in neoprene, a synthetic rubber. Like the papier mâché masks, masks made from neoprene are lightweight and comfortable. Neoprene masks are also extremely durable and pliable enough to fit a variety of face sizes, making them ideal for multiple uses.
