Ever since I was little I loved makeup. I competed in pageantry, dance, theater and choir for years. In high school I worked on the makeup crew and became the head makeup artist by junior year; this is where I realized not only my love for makeup, but my passion for it. I knew makeup artistry was my calling and I have worked very hard to pursue it. After attending college for a few years I realiz
ed makeup truly was where my talents and heart lie. I finally got into makeup school this year & it was a dream come true! My instructors call me a fireball and friends say I'm hell on heels when it comes to makeup. I take these as compliments because everyone can see the fire I have inside to succeed in my makeup career. This is only the beginning, and I'm ready to be 300%in this adventure that continues to unfold everyday.

My inspiration comes from all over but I must say a huge source is Lady GaGa.

She is fearless. She makes herself whoever she wants to be that day & rocks it. I am inspired by her confidence, beauty, charm and creativity.

Creativity is the best stress relief for me. My wheels are always turning, my ideas and thoughts for makeup, shows & characters are never ending. I find inspiration and the most creativity pulled through me when I'm pushing the envelope or doing what many think is crazy. I get excited when I can take something that society tells us is perfect & make it a beautiful monster, or turn the ugly into perfection. On the flip side, its an amazing feeling to make people feel beautiful on their big day or in a performance. I hope that my work shows the crazy and sweet sides that I have flowing through my mind and art everyday.

I would hope if GaGa ever saw my work, she would be proud :]
