About Me - Victoria (Moses) Mearini
I started in the arts at Boston Museum of Fine Arts School in 1982 but chose a career in ballet that same year. After 20 years as a professional ballerina for companies such as Boston Ballet, Pennsylvania Ballet and Cleveland San Jose Ballet, as well as many smaller companies, I took a break from working to have 2 beautiful daughters.
In 2009 I went back to school for Costume Design at Kent State University and did an internship at La Comedie Francais in Paris France. In 2013 I transferred to Cleveland Institute of Art and completed my BFA in 2017 in Jewelry and Metals.
After working as the Wardrobe Supervisor for The Cleveland Playhouse I returned to graduate school at Kent State to complete my Master of Fine Arts in Costume Design.
