Live, Love, Be!

My passions lie in creation, connection, application, and education of the planet about finding the positive that is always present. I am a creative energy that uses many different mediums for expression.I travel extensively exhibiting, applying and displaying my art. Whether in someone's home for a private event, on the road with MTV or at a corporate party for United Airlines, my message is simple: "No person is an island unto themselves. We are a World Community whose personal experiences are meant to be shared." Allow me to share my art with you and yours. My creative energies include henna-making and application, henna training, make-up,body adornment, mixed media performance,photography one time wear fashion clothing and jewelery, costume design/ornamenting, yoga instruction,freehand temporary tattoos for film and videos and more keep adding. My background includes acting, modeling, cooking and singing. My efforts have been in celebration of the artistic form of the human body and its kinship to the natural world. I am meeting more and more people that, although they enjoy the advantages of 21st century living, feel as if they have lost touch with the natural. I view my art as an opportunity to share my boundless creative energies and help people re-establish a connection with themselves, and subsequently, Nature. Artist and two-fisted painter Denny Dent echoes my personal feelings beautifully in an article published in Northwest Airlines' World Traveler Magazine: "I have a platform, and they will listen. My message is that art has nothing to do with paint. Art is not a technique, but an expression from your heart." I do what I love, love what I do. I don't separate myself from my 'work' for it is who I am, and expression of my soul.
