2013 Self-Portraits

This series was taken ten years ago.. Where did the time go? It is so crazy looking back on past images, remembering where my brain and body were at the time. I can't believe I felt so insecure and self-conscious at this time. It has been so healing to experience the evolution of mind body and spirit over the years through my photography. The dark depths of my soul surfacing through each capture. What makes your soul sing? How do you view or see the change? How can we continue the catharsis?<...

HAPPY FULL MOON (& my very first nudes)

Happy Full Moon in Capricorn. Here are some notes I took while listening to 'Esoteric Sky,' https://patreon.com/esoterichealing ... one of my favorite youtube astrologers who also has a patreon page. It is a very intense day, week, month and time we are living in. While sharing these words I also wanted to share my very first nude in nature fine art photography images that I took over ten years ago back in university....

Journal Making - some intimate playful work

In journal making class this week, which is basically my church for the year. It is so incredible to get to create with so many powerful women, pray to the earth and ether, and learn from my teacher @joymseidler who is basically a shaman to me in the truest sense of the word ✨🪶 today, the first day of the annual four day class, we make paste paper, which we then use to make book covers, signatures (the interior parts of the journal), before sewing the Coptic binding on the final days. Th...

are there any good ones?

here are the next 50 patreon-appropriate high-resolution camera photos from my watermelon shoot a few days ago... i haven't even looked at any of these yet... are there any good ones? 

i've been showing my work to a lot of 'established' professionals in the photo industry and i've been receiving a lot of harsh criticism...feeling a little self-conscious of my images, however this set is part of a much larger vision and series. 

i'm doing what no photographer e...

Self-Portraits with Watermelon

Lately I've been rethinking my entire art career and life. Everything that has happened over the past few months, that has made me question everything, is saturating my mind with undefined space and time. I feel the collective stress of overstimulation, over-production, a sense of infinite tasks and business and busy-ness. As I try to take care of my body by focusing on creating a sense of safety and security in my everyday existence, I am simultaneously inspired by so many things. I feel lik...

Happy Summer Solstice!

I had a wonderful change of seasons day yesterday! I spent the day rock climbing, cold plunging in the mountain river and partaking in a ceremonial, sacred, sweat lodge. How did you spend the longest day of the year?

New Moon Manifestations & Modeling

I had such a phenomenal time modeling for an incredible artist Jeanne Wilkinson today! It was just what I needed after this deep dark new moon. It is always so inspiring to work with other creatives and get a chance to see and be a part of their vision. Here are a few self-portrait stills I took from some behind-the-scenes iPhone selfie videos. Today is a powerful day to write down intentions and manifestations? What do you want to call into your life in the coming months?

MY ART [& artist statement]

just a little reminder of who i am, why i am here, what i do. My life, my passion, my existence is my art. All is one. All is connected. Here is my current / new artist statement. Thank you all so much for your support. If you know anyone with any connections to museums, galleries, or collectors please let me know. The images above were taken a few years ago when the world was shut down as i was creating and finishing the first part of my large scale mixed media collection

onlyfans - thoughts, words, reality

After careful consideration I’ve decided to start @onlyfans again as it is the only place I can share some of my art without being censored. Part of the conversation surrounding my work is about sex / sensuality/ the porn industry… so as controversial as this site is, it is a part of the discussion surrounding the work I do. I’m done living in fear of what others may think.

After a long month or two away from this platform and away from technology/ art/ life, I’m back. I decided...

Modeling the day it all happened. And full story.

These photos were taken the day I met the guy whose presence in my life changed everything. It was really bad. Here is the story... at least a little more in detail... or at least as much as i could type.

On the same day these photos were taken, a full moon in Cali filled with magic, uneasy about a few things happening on my Only Fans page and a sex work opportunity that came up through a friend. At the same time I met someone who was very religious, conservative and had...

SALVATION - next 50 - life

... Here are the next 50 images from SALVATION.

What do you think of my work? Do you think it is too much? Do you think I need to be saved? Do you see God present in my work? Or the devil? Is duality healthy? This past month, I've had so many deep and intense conversations about God and demons. All I feel and see is light, purity. I know my truth. When I was accused of some INSANE things on instagram one month ago from a very low-life, pathetic, troubled human, I started questioning eve...

SALVATION - next 40 - life

... Here are another 40 images from SALVATION. Once again, I feel like i'm finding salvation. I feel like i'm experiencing yet another resurrection. What is ok? What is appropriate? Am I really an artist? Was he right? Does "showing off" my breasts and vagina take away from my art and make it impossible for me to meet someone to be monogamous with and have a family? I prey for salvation. I finally am inspired to create PRE/AY -- one of my ongoing series. I'm also more inspired than ever befor...

SALVATION - first 30 - life

After coming out of a relationship this past week, my mind is melting into nothing, while also rebuilding. He set a lot of rules for what he was ok with. For some reason, well, for many reasons I said ok. I said ok to deleting my art. I said ok to deleting my past. I don't regret anything but he said i should. I've never felt so much shame about my body. I left a week ago. I am sad. I really loved him. But i couldn't delete things fast enough. Here are thirty images from my last book SALVATIO...

Deleting the past

I just left the shortest most intense relationship of my life. I’m sharing some screenshots of photos from the past that I was deleting and archiving over the past few days. He didn’t want me sharing my body or being naked anymore in front of anyone but him. This was so hard. It has been my life. I have spent years working to overcome shame and somehow all I felt with this person was shame. My past broke into our present. He kept finding things online that weren’t ok or appropriate to h...

R E B I R T H

Thank you so much everyone for your support. For those of you who don't know what happened, someone made false accusations against my art and lifes work. My social media pages were disabled and my website was deleted. It has been a month full of emotional unrest and turmoil. While all of this was happening in the digital space, my personal life took a turn. I met someone who is bringing me closer to God and who is helping me to see humanity for where we really are as a society. It is very sad...

me modeling

if you've seen any of my social media posts from the past week or two you'll know that i'm obsessed with LA. I finally took the time for myself to explore this city and the art scene, and didn't realize how much magic would happen and how much i'd love this area. I'm going to send out an email soon with many updates... message me your email if you'd like to be added to my email list -- here are some of my favorite shots from some modeling collaborations I've had in this past week. 

desktop CHAOS

As some of you may know or have picked up on by my posts, I've been traveling... a lot. As always I'm striving to get organized and stay balanced while moving forward with my art / work... which lets face it, is also my passion, play and LIFE. I thought it would be funny to just upload everything on my desktop before i clear it off again (my weekly / monthly attempt) to clear my main digital home space haha. Either way, some of you have already seen some or most of these, but there may be som...

Florida Nudes

Some of my favorites from South Florida last month! Including some exclusive animal overlay test pieces :)

yoga on the beach

sometimes I take videos for vimeo and youtube... another content creator asked me to send in videos for her collaborative women's platform as well... here are a few screenshots from a recent yoga series on the nude beach in miami 

Studio Work

I was given the gift of time today when my flight was delayed due to snow. I’ve been putting off my hands on work as for some reason computer work always seems more important— I had just enough free time this morning and my main computer was already packed away so I decided to take advantage of being in my studio for the last time for a while and get done some hands on painting, framing, and book making :)

Florida last few days - photo dump

I love florida, the sun, the sand and water. The last few days have been a whirlwind… I just wanted to share a few random photos and screenshots from this last week. I just landed in Albany and dealing with fixing my car and computer in the snow, dreaming of the sunshine… I may have an opportunity to go back to Florida in a few weeks. I am so grateful. I can’t believe how the power of the mind and manifestation works. So much serendipity and beauty alchemized from the pain. More to come...

Over Ten Years Ago

I can't remember if I already posted these or some of these, however this is a collection of some of my very first fine art photography in college, over ten years ago. I pray that one day I recover the original folders from my first iconic nude in nature shoot in maine, but until then, here is a small collection from this very vulnerable, young, special time in my life, and the very beginning stages of my career. There are a few photos here from Maine, North Carolina, some final images from m...

AWAKEN ALIGN TULUM

I can't remember if I posted this series. Going through some external hard drives and found this series of myself modeling with friends in a secret cenote in tulum. The images are taken by @AwakenAlign ... a new friend that I met there along the way. 

Delfi & I modeling together

one of my favorite places in the world to shoot with one of my favorite people
