I am an out of state cosmetology student studying to become a makeup artist/Hairstylists. But now currently a homemaker. I love to read write and draw and sew fashionable clothing on my spare time,mostly just as a hobbies, but been told that I should display my talents professionally. I never learned from anyone or went to school for my talents. I just have a vivid imagination and photographic memory when it comes to free hand drawing or immolating any project. My passion for art has inspired me in many ways throughout life and has helped me to develop my skills in makeup artistry as well. I have a keen eye for details and I'm committed to any project that I put my mind into achieving .
