Favorite Quote:
“Life and Jah are one in the same, Jah is the gift of existence. I am in some way eternal, I will never be duplicated. The singularity of every man and woman is Jah’s gift, what we struggle to make of it is our sole gift to Jah. The process of what that struggle becomes, in time, the Truth” -Bob Marley (this is the tattoo script on my ribs )
What’s Your Twist:
I am a visual artist and model working and living in San Francisco, CA. I paint with acrylics and have been doing shows/exhibits, including the underground art show “Pancakes and Booze” and will also be showing work at the Richmond Art Center a little later this year. As for modeling, I model for various artists, art groups, and schools around the bay area and was just received into the Bay Area Models Guild!!! I also model for photographers with my twin sister, Nandi, and we are both working towards a career in print modeling. You can find us here.
What’s Your Dream Job?:
My dream job is to become a famous artist one day. I know that it takes time, but I’m just going to continue painting and doing shows. I should have my own solo exhibit next year and hopefully people will continue to love and respond to my art! I am also striving to be the best model I can be, I have started taking yoga and dance to aid in my flexibility and posing. I want to travel the world painting and modeling!!!
