“I love the illumination of one’s natural beauty, the transformation, the drama…putting my signature on a face, whether it is the girl next door or well known name.. At the end of the day, beauty is all about the radiance from within. My professional experience and education, along with my ability to enhance one’s inner beauty through makeup and style helps others exude confidence and allure. Let the beauty of your soul be the beauty you wear!”
