Beauty – Melbourne

While I can only pick one RAW craft here, my skillset goes well beyond makeup. I\'m a conceptual artist, illustrator, musician, amateur photographer, animator... I guess my primary describing word is \"artist\". I use whatever I can get my hands on to create whatever thing is buzzing around in my head. Currently the creating is via the beauty of makeup and hairstyling, be it bodyart, special effects, or high fashion. Collaborating for photo shoots has been an amazingly fantastic challenge for me that has created hundreds more little buzzing ideas in my head that have to be physically formed, and this is incredibly exciting. I completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Drawing a few years ago, during that time travelling to New York and Rome to study historical and modern art styles and plein air painting. Last year I completed a Diploma in Specialist Makeup Services, using my fine art talents to my advantage to conceptualise various body art pieces, characters and intricate face charts. I have a particular love for the collaboration and imagination of photoshoots and have a tendancy to fill up all my spare time with various styles of shoots, in between working as a cello teacher and retail assistant.
