Author bio

I am a Renaissance woman I every respect. I am a makeup artist at Bloomingdales and create art for gallery shows everywhere in Chicago a traveling gallery. I worked as an artist bartender, caregiver at some point. My artistic background is I worked for Jackie Taylor at her theater and Organic Theater creating costumes and yes I see too. I worked for TV doing makeup for extras for Empire and Exorcist and Shameless. As a writer I am writing a book Exquisite Corpse. It’s already written just have to get a publisher to finish it.

I wish we could hold our arms together but social distancing is the key to health.
