About Me

     As you may have guessed from the website name, my name is Pamela.  I attended undergraduate school at Morehead State University in Morehead, Kentucky. My majors were History and Theatre. After receiving my Bachelor’s degree, I decided to wait two years before starting grad school, so our son, Cedryk, would be older when he joined daycare.  In 2008, we shared the adventure of a 1,000-mile move from Kentucky to Oklahoma so that I could earn my MFA. In early 2010, Brenynwas born. I graduated in May 2011.  As of March of 2015 I welcomed my 3rd son, Rhonyn. 

     I adore everything about costumes. The research, design meetings, sketches, crafts, and stitching are all exhilarating and satisfying. Thus far, my favorite show to design has been 9 Parts of Desire by Heather Raffo. Through my research, I gained an emotional connection. I was very involved in the building of the costumes. I dyed fabrics and hair, draped, patterned, cut, built a butt, distressed, shopped, pulled, and designed hair and makeup. My designs received a Commendation from the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF) region 6 adjudicators and was displayed at the organization’s 2011 conference in Amarillo. Also, the show was invited to perform at the conference. I recently designed a production of Mr E of Imagination that will perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2023.

     Let's get personal, so you know what to look forward to when working with me. For starters, I am a Rennie. Want to know what that is? A Rennie is a person who is a performer, artisan, or playtron at renaissance faire(s). Though, with theatre life being what it is plus having a family, I am not able to participate in faires as much as I would like. While living in Oklahoma, I worked with The Castle of Muskogee as an actor and dancer. Currently, Elspeth the Milkmaid works with the Georgia Renaissance Faire.

     I also love teaching. To me, there is nothing like the feeling of when a student discovers that knowledge is right at their fingertips and they can complete a task that was originally so foreign to him or her. 

     My kids and I love to go on trips, hike, visit museums, attend Comic-Con, bake, visit Ren faires, and celebrate Halloween.  Recently, they discovered laser tag. I cannot express how much I love spending time with my lads. They can make me smile without trying. Cedryk is a loving, logical, & sweet college student.  Brenyn is a wacky, humourous, cuddly tween gamer.  My youngest, Rhonyn, is a fiesty, independent, considerate food lover. 

     This is me in a very small nutshell. I am a costume designer who loves the ins and outs, along with history. I am a dorky mom who is making it happen in this very competitive field. 

Thank you for looking at my site and taking the time to get to know me, Pamela.
