Spring Fever

By Naked Soul Art | Published April 29, 2013

All of us have our own shit to handle. You cannot get to be an adult and never have had to face something that was a bit of a challenge. Some of us have faced more than others and I have learned that it is all about the response to what we face that enables [...]

Gratitude

By Naked Soul Art | Published April 4, 2013

I am recovering from an episode of upper back and neck pain it’s a great mind/body metaphor for getting rid of a pain in the neck (part of my healing and detoxing my life. I have been doing just that!) and also realising how great it is to be out of pain; we never realise what joy [...]

Photographing Beautiful Women – Naked Soul Art Interviews Photographer Mike Crawley

By Naked Soul Art | Published March 29, 2013

I am a lucky woman and have had the chance in the last few months to work with some really rather wonderful photographers. I will have to do less  art modelling now as exams are looming. I want to concentrate on creative work of my own and cannot afford to have too much time out from [...]

Interview with Colin Hampden-White – Photographing Naked Souls

By Naked Soul Art | Published March 20, 2013

I fell into art modelling by accident, perhaps as part of the progress and self discovery that has been happening in the last couple of years but it is an incredibly liberating thing to take my clothes off and stand and chat while I am snapped by really rather talented photographers, either dressed up and [...]

A Valentine To Myself

By Naked Soul Art | Published February 13, 2013

This last year has been so much about change and growth. It is all good change, if at times challenging and heart wrenching. The little me that used to be outwardly bolshie to protect herself and inwardly scared to be what she wanted to be, no longer feels the need to pretend and is being [...]

Lessons of Being a Naked Soul

By Naked Soul Art | Published January 16, 2013

It’s assignment time again and I can’t wait to breathe a sigh of relief when the barrage of deadlines is done. It is tough working enough hours in a low paid job to pay the bills and also making the grade. Too much investment goes in to financial juggling and it takes away from the [...]

Girl Power and the Start of 2013

By Naked Soul Art | Published December 31, 2012

This is my last post of 2012 and it’s a taste of what will be in 2013. This year has been one of the most exciting and also challenging times of my life, yet here I am; de-cluttered, single, free and most of the time rather happy. This was the year I found my path [...]

Paving Another Road

By Naked Soul Art | Published December 16, 2012

I am nursing a bit of a post lunch party hangover if that’s what you call it and walking round the house in my leopard print onesie (if one must wear ridiculous house wear then at least it is glamorous!). I have been burning the candle a little too much at both ends but it [...]

Hatch, Match and Despatch.

By Naked Soul Art | Published November 29, 2012

A couple of weeks ago I woke up to a Facebook news stream revealing that a guy I knew and liked had died of cancer. Amazing how we find things out, but I would not otherwise have known. I didn’t see him often but I had a lot of time for him. He was just a regular [...]

Being a Phoenix

By Naked Soul Art | Published November 1, 2012

I’m not really a big one for mythology, but the phoenix idea has always fascinated me. As a Naked Soul, there is something alluring and encouraging about the idea of rising from ashes and starting again, even if the concept is one that is imagined. There was a children’s series in the seventies called The [...]

An Encounter With A Leopard – Naked Soul Art

By Naked Soul Art | Published September 1, 2012

It’s been a while but I’m back and with a vengeance. A temporary diversion, an encounter with a leopard took me to places I no longer find appealing and so I am back and here to stay, lessons learned. I am asking a lot of questions right now and maybe that is what has been [...]

Age Is a Number

By Naked Soul Art | Published May 3, 2012

I had a birthday yesterday. Unlike many of my friends, I love them. My mum always used to bake me a favourite homemade cake and that memory is one that sticks. My childhood was not an easy one so I choose to carry this as a happy memory. So I started the day with my [...]

My Path To Realisation

By Naked Soul Art | Published April 17, 2012

I have just spent weeks researching and writing an essay on depression. I don’t know how good it is yet, just submitted, but I have learned so much in the process. I’ve been there, luckily never too darkly and somewhere in me is a little spark that jump starts me, whatever it is I have [...]

The Art of Manifestation

By Naked Soul Art | Published April 6, 2012

So what did I learn in March? It seems rather a lot! Two years ago I started planning a body painting project and never went ahead. I liked the guy I was going to collaborate with yet something didn’t quite work and so I shelved it temporarily. At that time my business was paying my [...]
