Cloaked in Mystery

Posted on by lostartofmystery

Cloaked in mystery, the orchid mantis sits. Still, so still. She waits. Patience is her virtue. She is beautiful, yet discreet. Barely visible. Behind her camouflage she hides. She’s become what she needs to be in order to survive. She is a small miracle, yet a machine. She operates in stealth mode. Cloaked in her petal armor. Faster than the blink of an eye; before you see her, she strikes. It’s over quickly. She saw you long ago.

Currently residing in Los Angeles. Originally from the east coast. In NYC I worked as a scenic artist, window dresser, prop and wardrobe stylist. After relocation to the west coast, I settled into a career as a professional makeup artist for over 10 years. Those are the highlights, but I've taken many detours along the way. It's been quite a ride so far, and it's not over yet.
