MY DETAILS

about me
Full time airbrush-artist and muralist. I run my own life drawing workshop in Preston every Wednesday evening and visit many others around the country as I travel with my work. I Launched LifeART in 2007 as a result of my own frustrations in finding life models on the web.

modeling experience
I have modelled for small groups but I am way too hooked on having a stick of charcoal in my hand to actively seek further modelling work. I think all tutors should try life modelling at some point in their lives to gain the fullest respect for the model.

artistic experience
20yrs experience in creating vehicle graphics, 15yrs experience in producing hand-crafted signage. Self taught artist.

hobbies / interests
Besides art, I have a big interest in photography. My parents are second generation photographers and as a kid I used to wonder just what they got up to in that bizarre blacked-out room. I have always loved art way too much to spend too much time snapping but I am happy to arrange TFP/TFCD studio and location shoots for models (just ask). Other interests include fell walking in the Lakes, the Scottish Highlands, the Peak District or more locally the Forest of Bowland. I love sunny beaches but it's bad for my skin, I am a big fan of wildlife (especially birds).

RECENT VISITORS








books
Horror and short stories. Time is tight unless I'm purposely relaxing.

movies
I like a good plot with believable action. Comedies, Action, Thrillers, even a bit of Rom Com. I liked the original Wickerman for its brave ending.

music
The 80s was my era so electro does it nicely. Depeche, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure etc.

In more recent times Cold Play hits the spot.

Other tastes include Elton, Wacko, Madonna, U2, Garbage, Faithless...

television
Sienfeld, Frasier, Everybody loves.., Mock The Week, Harry Hill,... Did I mention I like the funny stuff?

I'm also glued to current affairs and topical debate; Question time, Panorama etc etc...

likes
Sunny weather, getting paid, new clients and most food (there is no food that I don't like but what I don't eat I choose not to due to personal morals and opinions).

dislikes
Damp weather, queues, ignorance, bad manners,

Hello Leah! Glad to hear all is going well :)


Not sure what the problem is regarding the password. Others have joined recently without trouble.


Could it be her browser's settings?

Thank you for your patience, advice, and guidance.  I hope the new submissions will meet with your approval.  Ironically, I wholeheartedly agree with your dislike for bad manners.

Hi BF




i read in an old post on the forum that you were unable to book a model because of the 'unfortunate timing of nature'... does this mean what i think it means? was she due her period on that date? or have i completely got the wrong end of the stick?!?! if i have sorry to give you any disturbing thoughts.




simplyLeah


Yes, it was her period. Some models don't mind as they may be light.

Hi




For the thursday evening group in the not so nice surroundings of the local parish hall i wear a thong. for a few reasons really, one is a i run the group myself and its open to just anyone to come along...i did once have an inappropriate comment made by an 'artist', he had been once or twice and like i said before its a small town...another is that my husband and the step kids are happier with it that way...the other reason for me is that i do alot of short poses from 'lots of angles' to start the evening off with and the older artists have said they are not really interested in 'all the bits'...




then when a few of the regular artists want to get together i hire a proper studio and go fully nude for one or two long poses so they can work on one good drawing/painting...so that way i create extra work for myself!




when asked to model by a single artist or a class with a teacher i am happy to be fully nude. its no problem.




long answer but hope you understand




Leah


Thanks for your explanation Leah :)


I think you are brave under the circumstances to 'even' go topless. But to me as an artist I don't see 'fully nude' as any 'worse' than topless (I hate the word topless by the way) but I understand if your community may do so, especially with the 'angled poses' as you put it. I too have limitations at my group making sure that I don't choose poses that over-reveal. A thong would fix this, but I think it turns the model into a pin-up rather than a classical nude.


Anyway, must dash, I was just curious!

hey :)




Yeah I'm glad I was free, I'm more than happy to do it.
I look forward to seeing the more detailed work that can be produced over longer periods.




See you soon!


Excellent stuff! Weekends are a real bad day for me so I'm not certain I can make too many of these sessions which is frustrating, but I will do my best...


See you soon!

LifeART ...the artist and model network
Welcome note from admin:
Welcome to LifeART's brand new North American network! Our aim is to find models for artists and source work for models. LifeART also provides a platform for its members to share help and advice.

Members are reminded to be careful with whom they make contact and to take necessary precautions when meeting anyone for the first time. Please report any suspicious behaviour to keep this a safe and friendly environment.

Members must not harass other members. This is not a dating site. LifeART shares information with other modeling organizations and inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. Reported members will be removed without warning.

Photos are allowed up to a level of artistic nudity. This is NOT an adult site. Art instructors do not wish to see anatomical studies of genitals and any such images will considerably reduce your chances of finding work. This means do not post images that focus predominately on your genitals. Also, no erections or images that could be considered to contain semi erections. Finally, please do not include frontal nudity on your MAIN profile picture.

Thank you for your co-operation and happy browsing!
