Fashion – Portland

I am a Passionate Artist of Many Forms Raised just outside of Detroit Michigan I relocated to the west coast to pursue my passion for art. I have been an active member of the local Santa Barbara, and Ventura artist community for the last 8 years. I am a photographer, dancer, choreographer, aerialist, clothing designer, jewelry maker, lover and a fighter for all things earthly beautiful and pure. I took on clothing re-make and jewelry design in 2005 and with this new found passion started B-Line Designs. A clothing line specializing in using all recycled materials (both fabrics and garments) for custom one of a kind designs. Creating new garments and jewelry daily, my love for recycling carry\'s over in everything I do, from art, jewelry, clothing design, and day to day routines. I create all of my works from conceptualization to creation. I pride myself in my creativity and clever use of materials. I have done everything from creating skirts from curtains, to converting pants into a sweater. I have studied all types of dance arts since childhood from tap, ballet, lyrical, belly, hip hop and modern. I use this experience to develop a form of performance that represents qualities of sultry beauty and delicate simplicity. My unique style fuses lyrical hip hop with tribal arts creating a symbiotic relationship between the movement of my body to all different types of music. This fusion also carries over into my hoop dance technique as well as my aerial dance style.
