"Art is not living. It is a use of living. The artist has the ability to take that living and use it in a certain way, and produce art."
- Audre Lorde (1934 - 1992) US poet, feminist

Body painting is one of the oldest art forms.

Throughout recorded history, men and women have used berry oils and other pigments to either hide or alter their features.

Modern day finds us using body art in the form of make-up, tattoo, and theater costume.

Body painting allows one to display the human form in a myriad of ways without the permanance of of tattoo or scarification. It also allows one to explore a more 3-dimentional effect: optical illusion to trick the eye, revealing and concealing at the artist's will.

My canvas lives and breathes. My art comes from within everyone I touch.
