I've always been an artistic person.  As long as I can remember art, especially color, fascinated me.  After having majored in business administration, I went into partnership as coowner of Red Chair Salon in NYC.  At first handling day to day business didn't seem to fuel me creatively.  It wasn't until a couple of years later that I started watching and learning about hair.  I picked up the basics of how to cut, style and colour hair.  I had to.  I was an owner.  If I were to hold staff meetings and discuss hair, I should know what I was talking about. Right?  

My passion began to reveal it's self when I started reading and looking at the awesome transformations of people in Kevin Aucoin and Sam Fine's makeup books purchased for the salon.  Til' this day me favorite is Kevin's transformation of Lisa Marie Presley into Marolyn Monroe.  I read those books through and through.  Most of my knowedge about makeup I attribute to them.  At the same time,  I always say the best makeup artists are creative and artistic people who are passionate about what they do.  

Fast forward 2 year to spring of 2003.  One of our hairstylists who was also the makeup artist at our salon was pregnant.  She decided to stop working after the baby was born and to be a stay at home mom.  Not knowing what to do about a makeup artist, my partner hounded me and was relentless about I should take over as the makeup artist for the salon.  Is he CRAZY?  I have to say I was nervious.  I'd never picked up a brush, shadow, lashes, gloss or anything.  Some weeks go by of me toying with the idea.  Excitement started to seep in.  I took some the makeup that was left behind by our hairstylist / makeup artist.  I called the salon assistant into the office and started to beat (applied makeup on) her eyes.  By the time i was done, I'd fallin in love with makeup and everthing about it.  The rest is History.

I love to transform women into a more enhanced, beautiful version of themselves.
