About Muse

My name is Muse (yes, really!)

I am a nude model with a difference; I consider myself a creative catalyst for my own imagination - not just the 'photographers model', but an artist in my own right. My body and face are the tools that breath life into my visions; the photographer is the eye through which my imagination is revealed to the world.

My interest in modelling stems from acting as I feel the two merge together seamlessly. I am purely driven by the creativity of modelling 'photography as art' is what I'm passionate about... my heart predominantly lies with art nude, I adore this type of work; the freedom of movement it gives, the simple natural beauty, the wonderful curves of the body reflecting light and shadow. The human body is awe inspiring and I believe the figure of woman in every shape and size is Mother Nature's ultimate masterpiece; to hide it is an insult to the creation of beauty.

My goal is to re-capture the art within the female form - helping to create images of beauty - images which provoke the mind rather than just the loin! I'm not a woman that will ever compromise her artistic tastes for financial gain; pornography or explicit nudity will never be a genre I will slide into under any circumstances; even uninhibited nudes should leave a little 'something' to the imagination! Unlike a lot of nude artists I do not wish to 'shock' with my work, I merely wish to evolve and explore the natural beauty of the female body in as many ways as my mind can conjure. To open minds, cover new territory, and challenge peoples perceptions of the nude.

In the right hands the camera enables us to capture and immortalize living breathing works of art...

Professional p/t fashion model for 9 years (working p/t as I was also studying at college/uni throughout, as well as acting in various theatrical productions).

Professionally trained as a ballet dancer and actress, I'm proud to have a degree in classical dance and performing arts, which I gained after 4 years of intense training at RADA in London.

I eat sticky things with my fingers, I have a cut-glass accent, I sing merrily in the morning.
I hate tea - love coffee. I ask lots of questions - because I don't know all the answers.

I get very silly when drunk, I climb trees in the nude (when sober). I speak 4 languages,
I have a 24 inch waist, I wear 4 inch heels and can run at high speed in them (that's pure talent).

I dip my little soldiers in my soft boiled egg, I jump in puddles in my wellies, I play in leaves & throw them on peoples heads. I can hold a conversation about almost any subject,
I love probing banter - hate interrogation.

I have an awful temper - but never sulk. I unwrap presents with the glee of a 5 year old chucking paper everywhere with a stupid grin on my face.

I'm comfortable in my own skin - but I'm not in love with myself. I love deeply - but rarely.
I bore easily, I write darkly, I live for today & tomorrow - I never look back.
