Set Design
Abigail has been painting and building sets since 2016. She designed her first set element in 2018 with the stained glass windows in Beauty and the Beast, which won the Rising Star award for its overall design. Her first foray in designing a full set was in 2021 for New Voices 38 at WPI.
Set Designs
Below are the initial sketches for the set of New Voices 38’s 2020 production. This show required sets for each other 4 student-written plays: Ariadne Unbound, Dixie Cups, The Lighthouse, and A Proposal.
Set Creation
Abigail began her set design journey in 2016 where she painted sets for her school’s annual productions. She continued pursuing this passion at WPI, where she also contributed to the painting of the sets for New Voices 38’s 2020 production. The examples below were painted by Abigail unless it is also noted that she designed them.
