I began learning from Makeup Artist, Michael Gemelli. He helped me see what this path could really create before he lost his battle to cancer. After a few months with him, I was turned over to the legendary Dick Smith and his Advanced Course study, and this is where I really found a new level of passion. I found that creating a walking, interactive piece of art took every skill I had in my arsenal, but was so rewarding! All my random skills and education were all leading to a path as Special Fx artist. I think my life has helped me evolve not only as person, but as an artist. I can tap in and touch people’s vulnerabilities and strengths through my creations because I found my own. Creating beauty from a dark place is empowering. I found my truth and power in transmuting the negative into a positive creative force. As a Special Effects Makeup Artist (SPFX MUA)
I work in HD Makeup for Film, Theatre, and Print. I spend much of my time using cosmetics and creating appliances for blood and gore, old age, beauty, deformities, creatures, mutations using makeup and prosthetics. I design and fabricate props, creatures, costumes, and beards. Commission pieces and Limited Editions Prints are for sale. I work in Oils, Acrylics, Pen, Watercolor and Sculpture. I also teach classes, provide guest lectures, and demos. I am blessed with a unique gift to express myself creatively, without bounds or limitations. Whatever you can dream up, I can create. I am always looking for new projects and people to collaborate with. I am currently in the Austin, TX area and travel for projects. Please contact me for a price quote. Investors and Patrons are welcome. I look forward to hearing from you!
