Let Me Show You My World
Marie Brooks
Founder, Host, Model & Curator
I have always envisioned a place where people could create, grow, and be inspired in a healthy supportive environment. Let our team show you how beautiful life is if you take a moment. There are so many beautiful locations I have had the honor to find and I cant wait to share the beauty they all possess. I am an art model, I love the form and beauty of the figure. I create images that are creative, inspiring, and unique. Modeling caught my interest as a way to create art with my body. This is my expression and my passion is to help people fell comfortable in theirs. I love it when an artist lights up at an idea or image and I can see them get so excited about what they are creating. I'm passionate about the arts, inspiring creative freedom and expression in myself, and others.
Let me show you my world.

Passionately embracing inclusive/mature model representation.
Vedette began her “Owning my 50’s” platform on her 50th birthday with a commitment to demonstrate that mature women can be vivaciously engaged in activities and experiences that are typically considered to be reserved for the young. At the age of 52, she was introduced to modeling and has enjoyed opportunities to participate in various styles of shoots and runway engagements. She has a strong passion for nude artistry as it allows her to show the timeless beauty of women. A favorite life motto that she applies to her “Owning my 50’s” journey is “Tell me I can’t, I’ll show you I can”.

I strive to communicate that Nude is Natural...
Olivia Preston
Model
I find incredible satisfaction through modeling. It has given me opportunities to travel the world and visit epic, isolated and secluded areas very few get to experience. I find inspiration in my surroundings, and creative joy in posing in complimentary or contrasting ways to my surroundings. Every day, I get to express myself in a different way, and draw on the beauty of nature. I strive to communicate that Nude is Natural, and it is to me!
I've been modeling full time for six years, and am studying to transition to photography over the next couple of years. I want to be able to share my modeling experiences with others, and help everyone see the beauty that is around them.
I have always found the diversity of the human body inherently beautiful.
Artistic expression has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I have always found the diversity of the human body inherently beautiful and fascinating and grew up with nudity being normalized. I was drawn to modeling two years ago, with a particular interest in fine art nudes although I have experience in other genres as well and I have come to love learning how to use photography as an expressive and poetic medium.
I have a diverse background in dance, aerial arts and performance, drawing, painting as well as photography that compliment my modeling well. My background and interest in multimedia fine arts has provided me with a foundation of understanding for capturing dynamic and emotive images.
I am passionate about producing imagery that challenges stereotypes, and brings new light to the diverse beauty that exists around us. Imagery that is moving, emotionally inspiring and evoks uniquely individual yet a shared experience. That is what inspires me to create the art I create.

Art is life; It feeds the explorer in me
I was born in Ukraine and started my modelling career at the age of 12 as a runway model. I've worked with amazing designers but the industry didn't see a photo model in me. So in 2013 became a full time art model and I was lucky enough to be in over a 100 publications, exhibits and art books around the world. Background in painting and art history helps me to understand the influences and direction of photographers I'm working with. I have a personal attachment to the deco period and you might also find me as ArtDecoModel.
Modelling for photography is the only medium that gave me all the right tools to speak and to be understood. Therefore I never used a word "job" to describe what I do. Art is life, something I can't not try to be a part of. It feeds the explorer in me and takes my body to the most gorgeous parts of our planet. The self-exploratory part of it opened up my interests in the feeling of self, perception, body poetry, movement and stillness.

To be a Controversial Taboo...
Larissa Angharada
Model
I find my work liberating and empowering and am heavily inspired by portrayals of women in art. To be a controversial taboo, a mischievous nymph, a Grecian Goddess, a warrior preserved in time, a melancholy Pre-Raphaelite, a Helmut Newton inspired, pack a punch attitude, leaving an audience feeling unsettled or mystified. To challenge social and consumerist stereotypes of what's 'acceptable'. THIS, inspires me.
I am half Latvian and half Welsh, so an interesting mix of Celtic and European features. I have been modelling on and off for about 14 years and nude modelling for 9 years. With my actor/theatre training too I believe I can adapt to any situation or concept that is given to me, with ease and natural expression.

Kalopsia first dove into modelling with art nudes over ten years ago, and has since worked her way all the way up to Vogue, and New York Fashion Week. She excels with weird and abstract shapes, and elegant flowing movements.
