Ava is a well-rounded artist, versatile, adaptable, and open-minded.
Ava’s style of artistry? It's individualistic. It's different, so it stands out. She can be both clean and spontaneous with her artistry. The combination of colors shows independence. She wants to create work that makes someone ask questions, to make them curious enough to ask why or how, just to have the urge to know more. For Ava, it’s about embracing our natural beauty, while still experimenting and feeding Our wild child with pops of different colors, textures, and backstories. It's in the details. Ava is willing to not follow the rules and continue thinking outside the box, which is what an artist does. Regardless of the look She is creating, there is always precision in everything that she does, even if it appears to be messy, it's all intentional. An intentional mess. Perfectly imperfect. Raw.
Ava wants people to look at her work and see the collaboration behind it. She believe an artist is at her best when she has a strong team behind her. Everybody comes together and puts a piece of themselves into the puzzle to make something beautiful. She is striving to make sure that is the first vibe you feel, the community vibe.
Ava guides her clients to reconnect with their sense of self-love, self-confidence, and self-awareness, healing deep-seated wounds around fear of judgment so that they can reclaim their personal power and show up as their authentic, beautiful selves. Ava is an empath in tune with her clairsenses, lightworker, holy fire® III REiki Master, Shamanic Practitioner, Certified Breathwork & Meditation instructor, spiritual coach, and beauty embodiment guide—and it is these gifts that help her to see the beauty, inside and out, of all beings. Her ability to connect with the seen and unseen means that she has a unique gift in helping others connect to their true, sovereign selves, and can help them connect to the divinity within and around themselves, ditch the people-pleasing, and become confident badasses who rock the runway of their lives out loud and unapologetically. Ava knows what it is like to walk this journey alone, and she desires a different path for others, helping them to see that they don’t need to do this alone, that they can shine bright and share their gifts with the world, and that they are strong humans capable of healing themselves and becoming unstoppable.
With 10 YEars as a professional makeup artist in the tv, film, and music industry, Ava knows the power of makeup and loves how we can use makeup on the outside as an expression of the beauty within us. Her signature style in makeup turns traditional beauty standards on their heads and calls upon how claiming our unique style and expression is the path to our power. As a huge proponent of self-love and body positivity, Ava was a part of setting a Guinness World Record for largest skinny dip, joining 780+ people in the waters off of Perth, Australia to raise money for the Butterfly Foundation, a charity that provides support for those who struggle with eating disorders and body image issues. Ava knows too well the damaging effects of bullying and has risen above the pressures of fitting in, going along with the crowd, and dimming your shine in order to be accepted. She knows now that true living comes from shining your light brightly to the world and living your beauty-full self out loud! Ava wants her clientele to be able to speak their truth, to Love thy Beauty-full Self™, to forgive Thy Beauty-Full Self™, and to truly be Thy BEauty-full self®.
When she’s not bucking the status quo of B.S. beauty standards and high external expectations, Ava loves spending time with her life partner, kids, and fur-kids, creating art together, digging in the garden, and taking hikes. She appreciates and honors sacred solo time - spending time in nature, going to the beach to reconnect with herself and reflect, taking cleansing showers or a soak in a salt bath. Creating is her soul song, and it sings through whatever she may be doing, whether it’s making art, taking photos, crafting a signature makeup look, or cooking and baking. Ava’s favorite thing to do is make memories! A self-proclaimed homebody, she loves to relax at home and enjoy some chill time but also loves adventure and traveling the world. Ava is happiest when she is creating new experiences, especially those that bring joy and laughter and help others see the beauty all around us!
