We run a small community gallery in Alameda, Ca.  We have a couple of large shows a year as well as offer figure drawing classes.  We often need models for art projects like body painting and figure drawing.

Personal Background and Art Projects.
I started modeling when I was 17 years old. Soon after I began assisting  photographers and models, working in production, creating set & costume design and developing artistic concepts for shoots. 

My biggest strength is my acute & artistic eye for beauty. This skill shows through-out my work in photography, photo-retouching and painting. While working as an exotic dancer in my early years I developed my appreciation for the female form.  Being an artist always first and foremost, this  experience greatly enhanced my work in photographing & painting women.

I enjoy portrait, fashion, pin-up, event and various artistic forms of photography.  My experience from working as a model helps me to appreciate my model's creative input and ideas.  It also gives me great insight in to guiding models that need  assistance with posing.

In the early years I gained experience in print media while working in creative advertising for various boutiques, clothing designers and art galleries.  I also was doing layout design for several event and music magazines.

Over the years I have produced several successful fashion shows and photo-shoots.  I have experience in photographing clothing launches, runway shows and other various media event photography.

I have over 12 years experience with Photoshop. I started working with Photoshop in 1997.  My photo-retouching skills are excellent. I was given the opportunity to perfect my photo-retouching skills while working as Art Director and Webmaster at Atlanta's local top 40 radio station Star 94. I often photographed personalities, events and celebrities.

I am an artist. I often create portrait paintings from my photo-shoots. I now live in the east bay with my partner.  We run a small gallery and art focused nonprofit.
