GREETINGS! ÊSince I've returned to my home here in Los Angeles, California, I have been extensively working in key places for Art Modeling and would like to register with you and/or your organization for potential employment opportunities as a Professional Art Model. ÊPrior to this current period, I was working as a Professional Art Model exclusively on the east coast in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area for over five years. I thoroughly understand the artistic and creative environment and adhere to the highest esteem, respect, reliability and dependability entrusted me to complete any task granted or set before me to serve the Artists Community. ÊI'm currently in the process of developing and expanding my contact base as a Professional Art Model by submission for consideration and trust to bring about numerous delightful and creative experiences. ÊIt is my purpose and intent to generate mutual enthusiasm, excitement and aesthetic dynamics through establishing a trustworthy working relationship with Art Model Booking Coordinators/Institutions and their Artists. ÊWhen searching the varying website presentations regarding my Art Model interest, I'm inspired to communicate with you for an interview and possibly work under your creative direction and guidance. I'm noticeably classified as an African-American, 54+ years on this earth, salt and pepper braided long hair, beard and mustache, 5'11", 185lbs, healthy, strong,ÊsubtleÊadonis type muscle tone/definition and physically limber/flexible due to twenty-five years of yoga/dance training with the continuous intent to master everything I undertake to do, one step, one day at a time.ÊI'm firm with commitments but flexible with scheduling sessions/projects when I'm available morning, noon and night, seven days a week, (I do get booked rather quickly, I show up 100%! ÊI'm prompt and I don't waste time), as well as being extremely efficient in the execution of my work in every possible way requested for maximum artistic and creative success.ÊÊThe highest principles of ethical conduct and compensation for my style and expertise is a prerequisite. When working with Art Model Booking Coordinators/Institutions, etc., I periodically submit my availability schedule via e-mail for current use to help decipher and assist in booking considerations for usability without any stress, strain and/or struggle. I have found and trust this approach to alleviate any potential booking conflict. Whenever I Êaccept an assignment, I'm excited to do it without a doubt.Ê Through continuous practice and mastery of the yogic positions (asanas) as well as years of dance (ballet, modern and jazz), the benefits of these elements have proved to be essential in the presentaion of my poses. The breathing in and breathing out enhances the ability to let all physical activity to be dissolved into oblivion and release the natural energy (pranayama) through the living form which provides a meditative stillness for the Artists to do their work efficiently. This is accomplished through my constant practice of physical poses, breathing and meditation techniques to enhance the longevity, flexibility and strength of the Human body, mind and spirit as an Art Model Professional (A-Z). OBJECTIVE: To work with sincere, dedicated, talented, ethical and exceptional Artists who exude a confidence of magnanimous creative expressions in their Art Works through captivating universal essence in Art Forms producing extraordinary brilliance that elevates and enhances the value of the Art Model's true worth for the demanding contribution they make to uplift the Artists prestige and notoriety bestowed upon them by the Art World and other Art Collectors and Enthusiasts.

Through extensive creative endeavors over many years, my greatest work of Art is my life. I have experienced the Artists at work creating new, innovative and exciting advances toward achieving perfection through stillness and freedom of expression within creative mediums of ArtWorks. The Art Model opportunities have abounded in my latest adventure to fulfill my objective. I am grateful and give thanks to all of the creative people I work with as an Art Model Professional (A-Z) via hatha yoga practice for over 20 years, initially trained under the direction of Jewell Walker, yoga teacher at Carnegie-Mellon University and various teachers in the subsequent years. THE KEY IS IN THE EXPERIENCE!
