About Me

Business Before Pleasure
I am a Makeup Artist working in the New England and New York Metro areas. Since the very first time I painted my boyfriend for Rocky Horror, I was hooked and now I've been in the field for five years. I've painted professionally for M.A.C. Cosmetics since 2002. My work has been commisioned for everything from film, music video, and promotional material to special events and various creative projects.
I am particularly fond of working with artists of all sorts and bringing their visions to life. I've worked with bands as diverse as AFI and All That Remains. I am the Artist's Artist. I can process a request like, "I want Diamanda Galas' brows, Siouxsie's shadow, Brian Eno's lashes, Peter Murphy's cheekbones, Bowie's skin, and Hedwig's lips."
I've Had the Pleasure to Train with... Roque Cozzette at Kett. If you are considering using this medium, check out their website...
