Figure Studies

y'all want to be art?

If you are curious to pose for an artist and to experience being carefully seen, then please message me to book an hour long figure drawing session conducted via video conference ($100): vanessarae1213@gmail.com.

All art made in the hour is yours and mailed to you.

Gift certificates available. Offering is for ages 21+.

This is a ritual in seeing and being seen, of radical vulnerability. This is not digital avatar creation or revisioning ourselves as royalty~ many cute artists do that work if that is what you seek. This is a response to the proliferation of unethical AI "art." Whether you share the resulting work or keep it private, I think this effort can contribute more slow art and diverse representations of us to the great art flow.

Dan Pannebaker said I can tell you he posted, "My session with Vanessa was one of the most positive, affirming acts I have done for myself. Even though it was done remotely with both of us on laptop screens, the connection was real: we laughed and shared hearts. The results were amazing."
