My intention as an artist and a lover of love was to create and direct a ‘Love is Love’ editorial series that displays various forms of love. Words punctuate the emotions I desired to express alongside the images; poetic waxing to articulate a message.
Thank you for indulging my love of words and fashion that merely decorate the ethos of my he(art). May these evocative images stir and inspire you to dive deeper into just what Love means to you.
Made with Love,

A PRELUDE TO 'SELF- LOVE'
Loving yourself is the only way to live freely and fully. And when you have seeped inside this sweet nectar and have found that you are in fact, enough… your self-worth rises and you finally can let go of expecting others to love you the way you need to be loved. Because, now you are able to nurture your expression of love to yourself and relish in this delicious space that you have created… And so the romance gently begins.
But like any relationship, Self-Love is a lifetime commitment and process that needs daily attention and care. As though you were tending to an infant. You cannot leave it alone or neglect it… Loving yourself consciously throughout the day deepens your connection to yourself, and in turn, to others and the world around you. Because isn't that what life is all about- unity and oneness connecting the collective consciousness? And when we feel our love and realize that WE ARE LOVE… this is what we reflect back to the world. The act of loving yourself, however you define it, is the most graceful thing you can do for yourself and this world. Start by taking the time to do something that makes you feel loved, whatever that means to you… And let love rule.
