About me

How long have you been doing makeup and what is your background?

For the last 26 years I have worked across beauty, spa and makeup. I started out as a Beauty Therapist and grew into makeup artistry from there.

For a number of years I was an event artist for Christian Dior, doing makeup at their special events. I have also worked with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, La Prairie, Chantecaille, Make Up For Ever, Sundari, ESPA, Chanel and Armani.

Along the way I have done makeup for Eliza Dushku, Laurie Holden, Kim Cattrall, Minnie Driver, Marti Pellow, Gina Gershon, Julia Stiles and Pierce Brosnan, to name a few :-)

These days I am also sharing everything I have learned with people who dream of becoming makeup artists themselves, through my online courses at MUA University.

How did you get started and what inspires your makeup practice?

It all started in Bulgaria, over the Mediterranean to Dubai, across Europe to Ireland, over the Atlantic and the Pacific to Hawaii and back over the Rockies Plaines, St Louis, Missouri and Buffalo, New York where I am based today. The world is a beautiful place. Every place I have visited held unique beauty and diverse cultures which to this day inspire the Art of My Make Up.

What differentiates you from other makeup artists?

My focus is to make you look beautiful and enjoy your special day. From the soul to the mind and the body, fashion and makeup, my goal is to listen and make every one of my clients feel like the most special person in the world with the desired look for that very important occasion.

Can you teach me how to do amazing makeup on myself?

Sure! Let’s chat!
