Welcome to My Newest Avenue of Expression....Face and Body Painting with a mix of Textile embellishments thrown in!
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are all in harmony” ~Mahatma Ghandi
My work on my body through the art and dedication of weight training, mixed with my first experience in modeling being with a body painter...Herblish...who's painting shoot you will see herein, planted the seed which grew into my fascination of the artform.
I'm just getting started, so most of the images you see here are painted on me by other artists whose talents both have inspired and taught me a few tricks through modeling and getting to know them first hand.
Whether modeling or being the painter of the model....body painting is an experience everyone should try. You get to be a kid again....freedom is the general rule...and I use that term loosely. My first convention felt like a camp party of big kids with amazing talents and gigantic sharing hearts!
I want to paint you! Do you have a party coming up? A fundraiser? Just want the experience and have the art/pictures to hang on your wall? Need variety for your modeling portfolio? Give me a call and lets talk about what I can do for you.
