About Me

As for describing myself~I am very creative and easy-going. I have been told that I am a sort of unique dichotomy of charming innocence and open sexuality. I think that is fairly accurate. My favorite color is brown. I tend to be sort of neurotic about grammar but I am atrocious at spelling. My kitty makes me happy. I am addicted to piercings-but most wouldn’t guess it from looking at me. I have an irrational fear of talking on the phone. I also have a very loud laugh that tends to be rather distinctive and that can be embarrassing at inappropriate moments. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been living in the UK and modeling (photography) for a little over two years now. I was a life model for three semesters while in college. I have a BFA degree in Visual Arts as well as an Art History Minor. I am currenting working on my masters degree. I also work full as a graphic designer. My education, understanding of visual elements & the human form has assisted me greatly as a model. I love to model because I love the concept of being a lasting element in a fellow artist’s work. It also feels like playing dress-up--and really, how fun is that? I model because I enjoy the process and the outcome, not for the money. Therefore, I am certainly open to test work for interesting, artistic, conceptual or unusual projects, or from established photographers. I am here to meet fellow models, MUAs, stylists, designers & photographers. If you have any interest in my work, feel free to get in touch. Ultimately I would love to make more connections in the art world both as a model and an artist.
