Sooo.....

It's been a weird few months. At the end of March I suffered a massive OCD relapse and had to leave work and go home to Ireland and everything. It was a total kick in the face. I just woke up one morning and suddenly it was back, all those horrible, tortuous, tormenting thoughts and suffocating anxiety. I cried so much I nearly passed out from dehydration and exhaustion. It really was not fun. I'm back in Cambridge now and massively improved, but the fear of it happening again hangs over me constantly. I have come to realise that I will never be free of it. Well anyway, enough of that! PICTURES!!!

The following 2 photos are by the eccentric and wonderful artist, writer and photographer Julian Baker whom I worked with in December 2011 at his studio in London. The other lovely nudey model is Ms Jezebel and the hair and makeup was done by hair artist and wigmaker Katkinoko.

The next set of shots is by photographer Jeremy Kruse, aka Burntlight. I've worked with him a few times and he is such a hilarious guy! It's always a pleasure. He shoots from his home in Peterborough and it is one of the coolest houses I've been in. Every corner and nook has something unique and wonderful, like the big ass painted wooden rocking horse in his sitting room that I have yet to shoot with! I love how we manage to get something completely different and unexpected every time.

Right that's about my quota for the day methinks. I should go and make some dinner. I think I'll have fish fingers.

Greetings! I decided that a personal blog was long overdue because, well, I do a lot of stuff and I enjoy sharing it :) Firstly, a bit about me. I'm a 25 year old part-time art, fetish and artisitic nude model originally from Dublin but now living in Cambridge. It wasn't a random decision to move here, I came for love :) My boyfriend, who's Irish also, is a complete brainbox and ended up doing a PHD here in the University of Cambridge, and it was only fair that I come over too and act as his translator. Lets just say his accent is...thick :p

I've been modelling on and off for about 3 years now, and have achieved so much that I never thought I would. I specialise mainly in artistic nude, but I do dabble in other genres occasionally, which I'm more than happy to do but I know what I'm good at. I have a very classic, feminine figure, reminiscent of a Rubens painting, or so I've been told on many occasions. I'm extremely comfortable with my body. There is such freedom being nude, its like nothing else. Nothing compares to the pure joy and elation of being at one with your naked form. I'll be honest though, it's taken me a while to get where I am mentally right now with my body, to love it for what it is and to embrace its flaws and imperfections, something which, sadly, many people will go through their life hating. I eat a healthy, mainly vegetarian diet, but don't deny myself if I want a treat and eat meat occasionally. Also I cycle everywhere and go running when I can so I'm fit, if a bit squidgy in places :p

There are times where I sit back and honestly can't believe I'm here, doing this. I was always the shy one with no self-confidence and never thought I was cut out for anything, let alone modelling, so I'm proud of myself for sticking to it and making it work. I can't thank enough all of the wonderful photographers, artists, and creative individuals who have helped me to realise my visions or be a part of theirs.

And now, the goods! Here's a selection of my favourite images spanning from 2009 to early 2010.
