39" x 84.75" poster for The Joffrey Ballet's The Nutcracker. I wanted to supplement the well-known image of the nutcracker with photos of some lesser-known scenes from the ballet, so I created in Illustrator this gilded frame with three compartments for additional photos.

22" x 46" poster for American Ballet Theater's 2011-12 season engagement. This was a unique project in that the photo provided by the company did not include the male dancer's legs or feet. In order to make it seem like a deliberate omission, I darkened the dancers in the background to bring the focus to the main couple, blended the male dancer's torso into a dark background, and combined the photo with the name of the company.
