When asked about her practice, Trapp told us, “I have been a Mask Maker for over 40 years. At first for theatrical productions then expanding to all kinds of events. My masks are made of recycled paper bags, then sealed, covered, painted and decorated. The mood and movement of the mask is important to me as well as wearability [...] I love this art form and delight in watching people wear my work.”
