Modeling is fairly new for me. So far I have really enjoyed the challenge, the freedom of physical and emotional expression, the chance to use my body to create art that will last.

It started with curiosity about live modeling for college art classes and seems to be developing into something of a passion. I want to see where I can go with this - I'd love nothing more than to be able to use my income from this to go back to school and finish college.

I love nude, fine art, and erotic modeling because I think the female body is gorgeous. My favorite art classes were with live figure models and after the first session I knew that I wanted to go from the one behind the canvas to the one on the set. I've come to Model Mayhem specifically because I do not want to do porn. I want to celebrate the beauty and the erotic nature of the body and its interactions with light, shadow, color, and form.  I just happen to prefer creating that art by being the model myself!

Stylistically, I am quite flexible. I'm comfortable doing edgier, sexier styles, sensuously implied eroticism, and shots where the fact that the figure is nude is almost incidental in that the image itself is more focused on the composition than the figure itself. I love French postcards. I collect them and would love to participate in a shoot which uses that style.

Above all, I want to be CHALLENGED. Put me to work and I promise to give it everything I've got! If you have an idea for a shoot just ask me and chances are I'll say yes. I want to push myself to the limits, not just my own personal limits but stylistic medium limits as well. Let's do something bizarre. I want to have fun and make some crazy, incredible, moving, powerful, unusual, extreme images.

My favorite photographers are: (so far anyway) Edward Weston, Man Rey, Mark Sink, Dorothea Lange, Jock Sturges, Charles Talkoff, Monica Ford... Ever expanding list!
