Each wearable art piece has it's own theme, but always draws from the folk art of world cultures, the artists interests in high fashion, and her collections of art and found objects. The images in this gallery show wearable art designed, created and modeled by the artist herself.  They are organized to display the most recent pieces first.
Let DemiGod create you a one of a kind wearable art piece for your next party!

Bone Goddess - 2019


The theme of this event was "Dark Arts" so the artist went "light" and used off white tones in her work to stand out in the crowd, which also allowed the outfits details be visible in the dark space.  The inspiration was the two ethically sourced opossum and muskrat skulls she had in her collection.  Besides the opossum skull, the light up headpiece includes abalone shell beads, tree bark and wired lace.  The staff she holds was created from a cow vertebrae and leather and also lights up.  In her signature style of combining found objects, the neck piece is something that commands attention.  You can see it combines a muskrat skull, found metal piece, and hand formed ceramic beads on leather.  On her hip is a leather bag to collect various objects a bone goddess might come across in her travels.

African Killer Bee- 2019

The theme of this look was attempting to highlight the fact that bees are in dire need of help as our environment declines.  The pieces in this look were built around the beautiful patterns of African wax printed cloth and the way they interact next to each other.  The head dress consists of delicate wire and mesh bee wings as well as an explosion of "antennae" bearing more African patterned cloth.  The neck piece started with a large spent grinding pad from a friend's metal shop with great color and texture.  Built around that was a menagerie of African glass beads from the artist's collection, as well as a few sculpted wasp/ bee's nests.  This "artfit" was part of the "Bees + Butterflies" collection that the Garden Fairies showed in 2019 at Dunedin Fine Art Center.

 Let Them Eat Cake: Can't Stop Won't Stop- 2018

The famous phrase uttered by Marie Antoinette inspired this artfit.  "Let them eat cake"  influenced the sweets and cake that covered the tall pouf hairstyle.  As is the designer's style, the sweet head piece was counterbalanced by an edgy "punk rock" aesthetic in the rest of the look.  At this point in her wearable art creating, she felt that she couldn't control the creative flow in this outfit, so as a nod to punk fashion's back patches included "Can't Stop Wont Stop" on the jacket.  Hand painted patches that related to her life, such as her dog, and her short-term pet rat, were included.  The skirt silhouette was inspired by the late 18th century skirt supports that accentuated one's posterior.  You can see the nod to punk fashion in the bold plaid skirt pattern.  Ripped stockings and hand painted high heels were the "icing on the cake", as was the cupcake handbag.  This ensemble was part of the "Let Them Eat Cake" collection that the Garden Fairies showed in 2018 at Dunedin Fine Art Center.
New York Fashion Week, 2019
Two of the designers outfits were included in a runway show in Manhattan during New York Fashion Week:

Crimson Carnival- 2017

This was the tumultuous election year, and the year the Women's March roared through the nation which included pink cat-eared hats worn by protestors.  It was this feminine feline power that inspired this year's look.  The cape is painted silk and includes divine feminine symbols, as well as a feline face.  The artist also channeled Caribbean Carnival as can be seen in the use of plenty of feathers and sequins in the headdress.  Included in the neck piece, bustier and belt are Berber jewelry from her collection, as well as sequined accents.

Dragon Gypsy- 2016

This outfit was the first created by the artist as a part of the wearable art group The Garden Fairies.  The theme for this years show paid homage to the passing of musician Prince, as well as David Bowie.  We all used purple in our looks, and the song "China Girl" was a big influence as we all zeroed in on Chinese art as an influence.

This was the first head dress that DemiGod ever created, and she took it seriously when the group suggested she "go big" with the headpiece.   It was an exercise in creating something lightweight that she could wear for an hour, on and off the runway.  Purple and magenta "dragon flames" dance in unison from the crown of her head.  All outfits in this collection were also tied together with warrior influences.  Wrist bracelets, and shoulder epaulettes with studs and chains complete this facet of the look.  The materials in this artfit are sewn "dragon scales", hand painted vegan leather skirt, burnt fabric and hand dyed silk wings.

Pirate Viking- 2020 Menswear

This look was made to wear to the Gasparilla Pirate Festival in Tampa, Florida.  It is built from a recycled, distressed bleached t-shirt with woven leather chest piece.  Metal studs and wood beads accent the woven leather.

Hopi Cloud Dancers- 2015

The American Southwest is a magical place, and after an especially inspiring trip "out West", the designer felt pulled toward the Hopi Indians enchanting spirit.  These 3 looks are a homage to the Southwest Hopi Indian dancing outfits.  Each head piece was created using various materials, including translucent plastic sheeting, butcher paper, and foam shapes.  These were the first headpieces shown on Dunedin's Wearable Art stage when the artist showed on her own for the first time.

Our Lady DemiGod- 2015

The artist is heavily influenced by Mexican Catholic religious iconography, especially Our Lady of Guadalupe, so she transformed herself into Our Lady DemiGod for her second Dia de los Muertos Casa Tina fashion show in Dunedin, Florida.  The cape and light ray head piece features small mirrors that reflect light.  The rose covered waist pack held rose petals that were thrown on the runway as she walked.

MerSkeleton- 2014

Mermaids are a popular folk tale in the culture of this Floridian artist that lives by the Gulf of Mexico.  But never has one seen a skeleton mermaid, which marries the Day of the Dead skeleton with the elusive sea creature.  The skirt was created by applique and showed what bone structure might be in a mermaid's tail.  This was the first Dia de los Muertos fashion show she participated in organized by fabulous Mexican restaurant Casa Tina in Dunedin.
