The Art of Beauty

Ok so here I am trying to think of a blog. There are truly so many things to talk about. Especially when we are discussing the art of make-up, hair & photography! I have had so many disappointments and successes. But above all I have learned so much with every brush stroke, every color I place strategically on an animated canvas. So many different colors and textures with the vast choices of beautiful faces along with the lighting and angle of the camera.

I am a amateur at all of the above. I love to create period. Let me tell you a little about myself. I have been in the medical field for 14yrs. I love working with people. I have always loved to do hair and make-up and take pics of everything as a hobby. I use to be a Mark Kay consultant and that is how I started doing make overs. I learned so many things being a beauty consultant. It was fun but stress when I did gigs. However, I loved the way I made women feel after they had a facial and make over. Make-up can be therapeutic. There are so many stories behind lost faces. I just loved what I did. However, I let circumstances take over and I settled for mediocrity. I am far from mediocre I am finally taking over my destiny. I am a free willed spirit with lots of life to give! I got my nickname Lady Phoenix Because I love what the Phoenix signified. A phoenix is a mythical bird with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends). It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. For me this mystical beautiful bird is just like beauty. You are already beautiful,...make-up allows your beauty to be reborn in more ways than one. Make-up is designed to enhance your natural beauty to be who you want to be or who you were meant to be. You can do virtually anything with just a few brush strokes of color, imagination and soul! Everything in life is just like this phoenix to me,... you go through a life time of experiences and use them to better yourself, to be reborn, to change. This bird also has beautiful colors. I LOVE BOLD vibrant colors so in so many ways "Lady Phoenix" just seem to fit!

I am a wild child but some what tamed due to mother hood...lol! I also have a strong love for GOD! I am far from a perfect Christian but because of the gifts he gave me I am able to see things differently when I look at the world. I seethe world, and people it for their beautiful chaos. I hope you enjoy my blog, my posts, and my view on life in the world of ART!
