Testimonials
There is no other scenic artist that I would rate more highly; on every occasion Di is always keen & responsive to our scenic artwork challenges.
She always does an excellent job and I never cease to be amazed how her artwork transforms our scenery.
Her costings are both fair & competitive and if like us you are driven by quality you won’t want to go anywhere else.
Barry Ashwick, Managing Partner, Steel the Scene
‘Having worked with Di on several shows : Tolomeo, Jenufa and Tosca for English Touring Opera, and Carmen Jones at The Royal Festival Hall, I would not hesitate to recommend her as an outstanding scenic artist who knows how to communicate and collaborate with a stage designer on any type of production’
Michael Vale, Designer.
‘ETO has employed Di as Scenic Artist on 9 shows over 5 seasons. Whether we have filled her studio with full scale opera sets, asked her to reproduce intricate tapestries onto gauze or provide detailed finish to props and furniture her work has always been of a consistently high standard and delivered, with good cheer and without fail, ahead of schedule.
I think Di works very well with designers to interpret scale models, often providing many samples until a particular finish is achieved and then works with a practical efficiency to replicate it to full scale.
Di is easily bribed with a packet of biscuits but she does make a damn fine cup of tea.’
