Makeup Artistry
I have worked as a Professional hair & Makeup Artist for the last 13 years.
Additionally, I received my Pro-Makeup Artist, Airbrush, and Special FX Certification through Colour Box Makeup Studios, and studied directly under American Horror Story artist and award-winning makeup artist, Kerry Herta, and Emmy nominee and Guild Award winner Cristina Waltz.
My heart and passion is in doing makeup for TV/Film. I love being on set and enjoy working with my fellow creatives. Check out some of my work on set here.
