I have recently graduated from the University of Brighton, receiving a BA Hons degree in English Language & Media Studies. I now work full time with the I.T Helpdesk at Sussex University.
In my free time (what precious little there is left of it!) I am an artist, mainly producing pencil realism portraits, digital manga artwork & acrylic on canvas paintings. I am a keen photographer and enjoy shooting portraits, as well as working with abstract and alternative fashion themes. I love music - I have been playing the piano since I was 12 and am currently learning to play the guitar (electric, acoustic and bass). I also sing and write songs, one day I hope to record them. I also enjoy amateur dramatics and was an active member of my University's Drama Society. I like to keep active and enjoy running, swimming, kickboxing, dancing (particularly belly dancing) and yoga. I write poetry and short stories as well as being a fully qualified aromatherapy masseuse - so I like to keep myself busy!
I am quite tall and hourglass in figure, with a very eclectic sense of style. I make and install synthetic dreadlocks as well as playing with loose human and synthetic extensions so I am often changing the colour and style of my hair. I am happy to change the style of my hair for shoots, should the need arise, but would prefer to work with the style I have at the time if possible.
I am quite individual with my clothing, hair and make-up choices and enjoy alternative fashion and expressing myself artistically through my image. I am a plus sized model, and am keen to represent the more curvaceous sector of the modelling community, particularly in alternative fashion (although my plans for the next year involve a degree of weight loss for health and fitness reasons).
I am interested in artistic projects as well as fashion modelling. I am happy to discuss any ideas you may have for photos, however wacky they might seem! I am particularly interested in participating in dark/gothic themes including fetish and costumes as well as lolita fashion and modelling hair/clothing designs. I am not interested in nude/partial nude projects at the present time.
I am more than happy to work on a TFP or TFCD basis and very happy to trade modelling time in exchange for goods such as clothing, jewellery, hair extensions etc.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, if you are interested in working with me, please leave a message! I prefer to work in and around the Brighton area but will also travel up to London or Portsmouth as long as enough notice is given
Please note that due to working hours, I am generally only available to shoot on weekends/bank holidays.
