How it all began...
The Dark Crystal
As a kid, watching The Muppet Show, Sesame Street and HR Puff n Stuff was like seeing your cartoon friends come to life every Saturday and Sunday. Even though you knew they weren't real you loved them just the same. But when I watched The Dark Crystal something in me changed. A world that only existed in my imagination or in books like A Wrinkle in Time, was brought to life right before my eyes. I was in awe. I remember secretly hoping it was all real. It was the power of Jim Henson's visual storytelling that inspired me to find my voice in the creative world and shaped how I would use it...to tell stories.
