The Permission Project itself began as a call out to freedom. I wanted to experience the freedom of shameless self-expression in all its forms. I wanted to show a range of emotions that is generally limited in the world of women. I wanted sadness, rawness, loneliness, discomfort, in-your-face erotic, and all nature of other things that are generally edited out of the ways we see ourselves. 

By doing this work as a model, an art director, a teacher and a photographer, I have liberated myself and my subjects (at least temporarily) from the tiny confines of “being pretty and good” that have been imposed on most of us. 

My aim is to give you, and myself, the permission to be as big, as vast, as deep, and as expansive as we truly are.
