Painting is my own : www.montinahussey.com
Photograph by my good friend Joseph Hammond
Hello! My name is Montina and I would like to introduce myself and what you can expect in my content. I am an artist. My main focus is painting, and when I get into it I dive in deep and get messy. I let loose and unleash a lot of energy onto the canvas. As a person, I am a bundle of energetic joy and sorrow, living through the extremes, and this overflows and gets harnessed in most of what I do. I like to lead my life very free and vulnerable. I love to share my journey with others and unfold in the world in a brave and strong way.
I also am a figure model and art nude model. I find this work very sacred as it allows me to meditate and let creative images a flow. I enjoy posing for artists because I begin to forget I am a woman, I forget I am a body. I am merely line, shape, colour, and texture, I may as well be a fruit bowl. My intent in art nude photography is to capture the real essence of womanhood as a way to contrast the images of women that are meticulously planted in the psyches of most young people. I aim to express true authenticity.
I consider myself the leftovers of a family of musicians (youngest of 9) so I sing from time to time, but I prefer the channeling and silence and movement of making a great piece of art. My work delves into the domains of past traumas, repression, ancestral memories, haunting figures, and child development. I am fascinated by psychology and parapsychology. I am a huge advocate of psychedelic therapies and alternate modes of healing. I consider myself a bliss junkie and psychonaut. I love reading Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Stanislav Grof, Julia Kristeva, and listening to Alan Watts, and Duncan Trussell. I am majorly obsessed with Jim Carrey as you will see in some upcoming videos. I adore children and play.
I am so excited to share my life with you and see what unfolds on the steemit community! Looking forward to exploring the worlds of others.
Warmly.
Montina

Hello!! I’m excited to follow you, I’m always looking to connect with other artists/creative souls! Can’t wait to see future posts!
Very nice art. I like the black and white looks.
Looks great. Looking forward to seeing more of your works.
You sound fantastic! Pleased to meet you. I love what you wrote about being being a bundle of joy and sorrow and living your life free and vulnerable. I have been working with this a lot as an artists model (but on aerial circus equipment )I want to be figure and form, but cant help showing off my strength and vulnerability. It seeps out and i hope informs the paintings.
Beautifully said. Thats great. Good work :)
Welcome to steemit @moontinaart
We are all waiting for your beautiful paintings ..
Hi Montina, Welcome to Steemit! I enjoyed your intro story and will follow so as to not miss your future posts and paintings. I too am one of nine children, and the artist in the family. I've attended many life drawing and painting classes, and it was interesting to read your perspective as the class model.
