I was fascinated at creating art on the body since elementary school. Drawing on skin with
markers over timed turned into modeling, fashion, figure modeling
and body paint. While there are those that arrgue for and against
such forms of art I find when done well and with intention to be
personally healing and socially empowering .
Although the world of Fashion and modeling did have set backs such as instigating eating disorders in my colleague and at times within myself I also saw the power of these art forms to push healthy habits, engage people in meditation and reframe their views on nudity, sexuality and the essence of being human. When I teach any of these art forms I am extremely careful to consider and interview my students/clients on their current views of body image and ideas of health.

If you would like to learn about what did and didn't work on my journey to heal I will be publishing a mini book. Look out for preorders in my shop
