Birds in Flight

Miranda and Vilkas are helping me bring to life a body paint project that will also be displayed as a series of photos as well as incorporating some performance pieces. Above is Miranda painted with black birds and also impersonating one ;) Below is a layered image of Miranda w Vilkas that shows what the performance would feel like :)

moody sky painting

This was a practice for a full body coverage painting I'd like to do next week. I'll try to keep you posted ;)

Painted accessories for the bare back

I didn't get to finish this one over vacation that day, but it was a fun start ;)

Textural body paint from the beach

I painted this one onto Ryder at the beach, inspired by the texture of the sea oats in his hair. 

After some time off..

Sorry I've been gone for a while ;) Much re-organizing still to be completed.

 VERY exciting!

This one I painted over vacation. This inspired a future project that I'm hoping to do with 2 models :) 

G L O W ....

I recently had a gig doing black light reactive paint on party goers at Balliceaux in Richmond, thanks to Steven Ramirez. It was SO MUCH FUN!! Every body was totally into it ;) Taking pics was VERY difficult, but here are my Favorites.

Floral Necklaces!

 Miranda has been painted here w two floral necklaces to compliment her different dresses.

I will be show casing more of the these in next couple of weeks :)

Paisley Yumminess ...!

I was really excited to paint this piece, clearly inspired by the wearers skirt. Tedious work, but worth it ;)

Favorite body paint of the month...

This is my favorite photo for the month of July. This is Alexandra from the Return of the Curls show. I love how she is ready for the beach, including a wig and body paint! This just proves that ANY time is the PERFECT time to wear body paint ;) Come get some...

Ftera photo shoot

I did the face paint and provided some props for this curious photo shoot. Leyla is the model, photographed by Elizabeth Bowie. See more of Beth's work here: www.elizabethbowie.net

I love this shot of Russ with Indian inspired painting we put together for Wolfgang Jasper's play-day-shoot.

I splashed this leopard design onto Natasha for a fashion show last fall to go with her top.

Cabinet of Cosmic Curiosities

I painted Adrienne as an exotic alien for the League of Space Pirates show last month at Gallery 5.
