Growing up in the wilds of Long Island in the 1970's I dreamed of being Annie Hall. After graduating Ithaca College in 1983 with a BFA in Film and Photography, I worked in Manhattan as a production assistant, location scout and then finally a wardrobe stylist. I met and worked with some of the most creative people in the industry on great advertising campaigns, commercials, short films as well as fine art projects. I met my husband Steve and we lived and worked in NY for ten years. We moved to Portland Oregon where Steve went to Lewis and Clark Law School, I continued working and we had our first baby, Lila, in 1992, and then our second child Henry was born in 1995. In 1996 we moved to Scottsdale Arizona and I continued my work as a wardrobe and makeup stylist in film TV and photography. I was fortunate to work on some music videos for Train and Jimmy Eat World. I met some amazing people, and got to work on many local and national campaigns such as 'the two guys" commercials for Sonic. After our daughter Ginger was born in 2000, we decided to move to Bend Oregon. Steve and his law school buddy started up their own firm: Widmer Mensing Law group. I have started working with private clients doing make overs for special events, or any event, as well as continuing with commercial work.
