I grew up in an artistic environment, encouraged to explore my creativity.  Then, at 19, I was diagnosed with cancer, which completely changed my life.  I found that experimenting with wigs and makeup allowed me to feel much better about myself.  It was more than simple eye shadow or lipstick; it was internal and transformational in body and spirit.  Three years later, having successfully battled cancer twice, my passion came alive.  I moved to Los Angeles to pursue my dream as a makeup artist.  My career in film, television, and print has evolved along with my artistry.  In addition to my passion for make-up, I am an award winning jewelry designer.
