Six Week Sculpture Pose at the Evanston Art Center
Six Week Sculpture Pose at the Evanston Art Center
XXX: Edited down my library which DELETED my photo’s in posts.
An unexpected trial & error. Please excuse the lack of pictures here.
On week four there was a kink in my neck so huge that my head wouldn’t turn to the right until after an hour & a half yoga session. Brava!
Vulnerability is a big deal in Figure Modeling. When choosing this pose, at first I was working to cover most of my self up. Realizing later how I managed to leave my whole rear end exposed! : )
Luckily. the group I work with in Vincent Hawkin’s class are all top-shelf folks. And, they could care less about my being exposed.
They are too focused on creating my image & likeness out of clay!
Hooray,

Chicago Figure Model Self Description
Hello,
My name is CARLY!!
Have been figure modeling professionally since February 2014.
Am a regular at the Evanston Art Center, Lill St., and Tom Robinson Gallery
(to name a few). I’ve also worked with artists in private, done group workshops out of homes, and have a few friends at the P&C.
Very often I am told that: I AM A GREAT MODEL! Really, to the point where I’ve begun to collect letters of recommendation to back it up.
Sitting still & being quiet is one of my all time favorite activities.
So, I am highly skilled at long pose. Love Sculpture!
And, have a natural ability to fall back into position. (Another area where I receive repeat positive feedback).
Usually I am 5’3”, 125lbs, Norweign white girl with a positive attitude.
I like to take pictures of the work that is done of me for my portfolio.
Am in the (beginning stages) of building a web-site for it.

Solving the Mystery of Wow Frequency
Betty Bot of Bot Bakery spotted her besty hanging on the wall while on the town one day in June.
The Lady quickly informed that she may have found a familiar faced portrait in a public space…
Upon hearing her Friend’s report Curious Carly concluded that she had just enough time in between gigs to investigate.
Off she rode! Headed west on Nomade.
As she neared the vicinity its scenery became increasingly familiar. Yes, North & Western is where it intersects. Yet!!
“This is a spot that I have come to frequent.”
Ah ha! Now this puzzle is beginning to make sense.
Upon entering Cup & Spoon, Carly found the folks to be quite friendly. Offering her water once she explained that it was too late in the day for coffee. Sharing in her excitement to be prominently displayed in a hip new space.
Come look closer at Tom Robinson’s portrait of her at 2415 W. North Ave., in Chicago. Celebrate the opening & the Wow Frequency this Friday June 20th from 6-10pm .

Claiming Power Clocking Hours
Greetings, Carly here once again with a story for you to attend.
Mars is preparing its forward motion as we speak. Finally, my fingers are ready to leap!
Mars is a militant planet which controls action! Since its retreat in February our attentions have been turned inward. Gears grinding. I keep self reminding– that we’re in this for the long haul. It’s okay to stall. Especially, for carefully planned preparation. Which is the blessing this retrograde has bestowed upon us all.
I’m here to share a bit about my new career as a Figure Model. More importantly to touch upon the Life Lessons which have lead me down this path:
-
Self Acceptance
-
Self Assertion
People LOVE me. All kinds of people, who I meet all over. Not just the ones
who get to see me naked. And, up until very recently I have been hating them.
Unable to see the good in myself, it was an endlessly frustrating experience to have others show their appreciation. Then, has repulsion would have it– the more I hated it the more it would happen.
Until the fateful day (Scorpio New Moon, 2013) when I stripped down for a group of artists over 50. With Fear out of the way I was empowered with the freedom to consider options outside of self loathing.
Given time to sit & think slowly I began to unravel.
Along came Lesson #2. Guess what? I, Carly the Model, is in Control.
Or, at least that’s what they would have you believe. In order to have control you must take it. And, while sex drives do no belong in a nude studio undoubtedly the human condition takes precedence over Man Made Rules.
Allowing people to cross my boundaries in humiliating. Only worsened by that fact that I am naked on top of that. Which really aids in lighting a fire for me to speak up. Yay!
For now, these lessons are being hammered in. Time & time again.
Please, follow along as this girl learns through Figure Modeling what it means to walk a Life Path Number 11.

Returning to Center
Hello!
I used to live a double life. Which really isn’t as exciting as it sounds. More stressful really.
What was happening in actuality was that I was unhappy with the choices I had made. So, in order to express my pain clearly I made the executive decision to create a pen named space where I was able to write freely without having to worry about anyone who knew me reading.
Until the fateful day when the one person I had hoped to hide from found my writings and read them all. Betrayal isn’t even a word to be applied here. Because I was the one all along not living in Truth.
My hope is that these days are behind me now. That it is no longer necessary for me to hide my Self from all of you.
It was only ever my own mind that convinced me to.
Right now, I work primarily as a model. A muse really for artists in need of inspiration. Sometimes this requires me to be nude. While posing portrait the other day I decided that it was time to solidify. Be me. Just me. And, to make no apology.
I feel that there have been many teaser introductions in recent past of things to come. Finally, now I have reached a healthy level of Self Acceptance to do my work without worry.
So, get ready. Because now I am officially ready to share myself with you!!
