via Instagram http://ift.tt/21T1hpE End result of my last WIP photos on IG. I was inspired by challenges on #SkinWars when they had us create contortionist body paintings with five models. I didn't even realize that this could be my "thing" to transform a person into an animal up until that point, so I had never tried it! After that lesson, I knew I had the power to be a voice for animals and paint the wildlife that I'm passionate about. Special thanks to my wonderful patient model @shanamacd and photographer, @rydergledhill without their help this cornerstone image to my #floridawildlife Series of #viral #bodypaintings would not have been possible. I have lots of gratitude for the push, and hookup to former owner of @ilovebodyart, Chris Maizey, to the beautiful team of creative and supportive people @skinwarsshow @michaellevitt_1 Jill Goularte for seeing the diamond in the rough, thanks to my beautiful Mama Charlotte Holt, for all the blank sketchbooks and after school art lessons, and for saying #yes to #artschool at #tylerschoolofart Thanks to my body paint #guru @craigtracyart who saw and advised me about the very first raw photo, and especially all my wonderful inspiring #artist #friends for believing in me. ❤️ #blueheron #model #blue #skyblue #passion #paintwhatyouknow #buckledown #arteveryday #magic #huffingtonpost #yahoonews #dailymail #shannonholtart #gratitude #adventure #inspiration #flight #bodypaint #love #limitededition
