A May 2006 production of "A Macbeth" at Binghamton University involved some very creative costuming designs and of course Annette was in on the builds of those costumes. You can see some photos on this website's Artist's Statement page.

Fabric artist Annette Short's creations have graced exhibits in the south-central New York region at businesses, art shows, galleries, coffee shops, community centers, and quilt guilds. She loves anything and everything to do with fabric arts--from wearable art to fabric dolls to art quilts. She has also exhibited on occasion in California, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. In 2000, the city of Binghamton commissioned her to create its First Night banners and a 9-foot Millenium doll; in 2002, she was commissioned to design the official First Night logo button. She was PRIZE WINNER in sculpture category in Chenango County art show for fiber doll SOPHIE, Surviving My Own Personal Summers.
