KTRON is a local artist who specializes in illustration, scenic painting, set design, and costume creation. She attended Rhode Island School of Art and Design (RISD) then moved to Boston and started working as a set designer and builder for Club Nights at Avalon. She was also a costume maker for Kaiju Big Battel (a performance inspired by both professional wrestling and the tokusatsu kaiju era films of Japan) {Kaiju.com}. After leaving Avalon, KTRON spent time working at various theaters like the American Repertory Theater and the Huntington Theater. Ultimately, KTRON joined the Motion Picture Union and works full time as a scenic artist on various movies such as “The Town” “Grown Ups 2” “Castle Rock (season 2)” “Ghostbusters” “Beetlejuice 2 (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice)” as well as many others over the span of 17 years.

Between films KTRON has done work all over the North Shore of Boston. Some recent highlights of her career include working on the immersive speakeasy inspired by Prince, “When Doves Cry” located in Beverly MA, and in Salem MA, creating sculptural set designs for Professor Spindle Winks World of Wizardry.
