How social media changed my life: Not only has it built my entire clientele but, it’s also challenged me to grow as an artist and individual.
The first time I was featured on MODERN SALON: A mermaid transformation called The Oracle. It was a big moment for me, as I had been following @modernsalon for some time. To have my work featured on such a large platform had such a profound impact on me as an artist and my career. It has shown me that dedication, time and sacrifice pay off!
