About Me
- kent epler
- I am a fourth-generation Montanan with a background in fine arts and design, including residential interior design and children’s theater. Because of my background in scene and costume design, manipulating fabrics and found objects into sculptures comes second nature to me. They are each a piece of theatre and inspiration can come from anywhere. A name, a piece of fabric, or a discarded brooch can be the basis of a character. Next the skeleton is roughed out of electrical wire and wooden dowels. Bits and snatches of fiber, fabric and accessories are pulled together on a story board. Bit by bit the costume is fitted to the character and sometimes the body is fitted to the costume. Next I start the rehearsal process, with posing the character into his or her stance, adding a piece of jewelry, changing a hat, scuffing a boot. Last their face is created, hair and makeup applied appropriate to this new character. Each one has its own voice, its own story.

A Client's Trust
Its not often you get a client who says" Could you create a creation of me?" This almost never been a good experience for me. My vision is rarely that of a client! I never do famous characters for that reason. What idea, or concept inside their head may not be mine. So when you get someone who says," just go with it, do it your way!" OK! My client is a warm, funny, outgoing, slightly on the wacky side. Just my type of client...and who usually buys me at shows! I thought she was a little conservative, in manner and dress. So I just kept her hair style....will let you know how she likes it!
