Welcome
Inside you will find many examples of my work as a Make-up Artist
& Hairstylist, Wig Designer, and Beauty, Fashion, and Contributing Editor.
Spanning my career to date from the beginning in 1988, as a make-up artist
for Ford Models' “Supermodel of the World” contest, to becoming
Key Make-up Artist for “The Woodsman," a Cannes Film Festival prize
winning film by producer Lee Daniels, and all the fun projects along the way.
I love what I do, and bring that to every job that I work on, looking forward with anticipation to the excitement of the next one. The energy of all the unbelievably talented people that I come in contact with whether it’s on a film set, editorial photo shoot, or advertising campaign, is like "lightning in a bottle,” a miracle of creation. The ultimate thrill every time you go to work, what’s not to love about that.
