I am a professional makeup artist with over 10 years experience in many different areas (including print work, stage, runway / fashion, television, all types of special events, and film). I also do hair. To give you a brief background, I have been working as a freelance makeup artist since 1993. I graduated from the University of South Florida with a BA degree in psychology. I spent some time working for Estee Lauder and also worked for MAC Cosmetics in management before I decided to venture out onto my own. In addition to that, I managed to become a licensed financial advisor and stock broker (hey, you gotta keep both sides of the brain working, right?!). I am also a conservationist, environmentalist, vegetarian, etc. I love being around the ocean, Corvettes, (sports cars), speed (anything that goes fast and I control), spiders, cats, (animals / wildlife / nature in general) all forms of art, magick, investing, real estate, boating, music, interior design, studying religion and mythology, reading, writing, pole dancing, "trying" to learn how to play my guitar and becoming the best person I can possibly be. I am constantly in the pursuit of knowledge. Blessed be.Photography taken from the 2007 Cinco de Mayo Lurie Lurie & Fijigirl Fashion Show at Boulevard 3, hosted by Alex Quinn

Anyone in need of a professional makeup artist :) Al Gore, Greg Graffin, Morrissey, other makeup artists, models, photographers, and people involved in the arts, environmental protection, animal rescue, conservation and the entertainment industry. Anyone that is witty, can laugh at life, and does not take him / herself too seriously, but is intelligent enough to hold a good conversation. Nobody that is too judgmental because I believe that we all have a different path and as long as we don't cause or intend harm on anyone and we do things with a kind spirit and in love, then all the other nuances of character are simply the result of many factors and that is what makes each person unique and beautiful.
Bad Religion, Morrissey, Shiny Toy Guns, LCD Sound System, Band of Horses, The Shins, Bright Eyes, The Church, Crystal Gayle, The Cult, Greg Graffin, Tiger Army, Apartment, Clinic, Bauhaus, Guster, Deftones, Blue October, Erasure, Depeche Mode, Killers, Echo and the Bunnymen, New Order, Billy Idol, The Smiths, Joy Division, Fleetwood Mac, Genesis, Korn, Keith Urban, Snow, Suzanne Vega, Tracy Chapman, Howie Day, The Cure, Thrill Kill Cult, NIN, Crystal Gayle, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg, 2pac, LL Cool J, Johnny Cash, Portishead, Prince, Marilyn Manson, Apoptygma Berserk, Zeromancer, David Bowie, Rob Zombie, Revolting Cocks, Consolidated, The Who, Shakira, Bauhaus, Peter Murphy, etc...

My entire loving, supportive family that has stood by my side through it all and has never doubted me ... thank you ... I am truly blessed to have such wonderful people around me. Also, my friends that have been there through the good, the bad and the really ugly ... but see and laugh at my idiosyncratic behavior and appreciate me anyway ...
