"menopause" illustrator, multi-media artist, beauty photographer 

After twenty + years lighting models & celebrities, I’ve traded high-fashion gloss for the raw ink and sarcasm of my “Mini Meno Manifesto.” This collection of hand illustrated zines, turn my bizarre expedition through Menopausal chaos into humor with satire, sass and a (smidge) of science.
Goals are we don’t just "survive"—but we own it and it’s covered by insurance! Once I gain momentum, a portion of proceeds will support Menopause research. Humble beginnings & big vision!
