Muse of Grace

'There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action.  And because there is only one of you in all of time, this  expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never  exist in any other medium and be lost.  The world will not have it.  It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly. To keep the channel open...whether you choose to take an art class, keep a journal, record your dreams, dance your story, or live each day from your own creative source.  Above all else, keep the channel open.'

--Martha Graham

UPDATE 1/30/2011:  With the exception of photographers I've previously worked with, I will be taking a longer break for health and family matters.  I will continue to check in periodically and change status when appropriate.

From fine art nudes, vintage pinups, film noir, fitness themes, formal evening wear, to the ethereal and abstract--I strive to create something beautiful that crosses the bridge of time and connects with humanity.  More importantly, I live to enjoy the beauty of the moment and the process of creation. 

I tend towards the more athletic, muscularly defined type of build rather than the long-legged runway model or playboy pinup types.  As a former fitness instructor, fitness is still very much an important part of my lifestyle.  I run 20 miles a week, attend pilates classes, and took classical East Indian Dance (Bharatanatyam) lessons for 3 years.

To help feel more at ease during the shoots, I require an initial meeting.  TFP or TFCD is preferred.
