University Opera's La traviata ​(2023)

Directed by David Ronis, scenic design by Keith Pitts, assistant scenic design by Juliana Gessner, scenic charge artist Teresa Sarkela

The design elements I most contributed to for this show were the herringbone floorboards, recreating famous late 1920s modern art, and painting the huge revolving walls.

​This production was set in France in the 20s and the designer included two famous pieces of modern art in the design. I recreated those pieces, shown below, on painted wood rather than canvas. For the Miro I exaggerated some elements to make it recognizable from a distance.
