About Me

I'm an Adelaide based freelance makeup artist.
I have been involved in hair and makeup for the past 13 years and have worked in television, film, drag, studio photography and theatre.
My greatest inspirations of this lifetime have been provided by the visions and creations of designers Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and the hair and makeup teams that make the fantasy a reality
My entire life revoles around music and visuals, always has.
I am completely driven by pop culture, past and not so much present, but enjoy seeing ideas and current concepts with a reference to something fabulous that's made a bang in the past, and it is in everything creative, from music to fashion, to hair and makeup to photography and video clips.....it seriously is, hats off to the creatives that are making things work currently.
In retrospect, we've already seen the future, it's true.
