I color around the lines, accenting and celebrating some and shadowing and disregarding others. My favorite area to work on is the eye as I have assorted shapes and colors to play with.

Makeup art is more personal and interactive: It is a conversation between me and the woman I am painting. I step back and observe her face, study her personality and bring that out in color and shine.

My passion for makeup started in high school. My older sister Tanja was my inspiration. She was very social and popular and I wanted to be just like her. Watching her apply makeup and having her friends obsess over how "amazing" she looked, made me eager to become a professional makeup artist. Looking at my sister, and experimenting on myself, I realized that makeup had a lot to do with attitude, your feelings and your personality.

The love and passion I have for makeup will only drive me to higher accomplishments, which is what I believe life is all about. There is only you, your dreams and the road to tread in between.
