Experience an Unique Bodypaint Portrait Session with Trina Merry
BE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE
I make bodies into living works of art. Whether you want to indulge your alter ego, blend into monumental scenery or look jaw-droppingly sexy, I’ve got you, covered.
FINE (af) ART
Want to look unapologetically fucking gorgeous?
It just takes you, me and a few short hours. We dream up the lingerie (or literally whatever) then I paint it on your body in a way that makes you slay. Tinder-set-ablaze slay. Eyes-bulging-on-Bumble slay. There’s no closet in my studio, no outfits for you to choose from. You wear what you imagine. This means you’re not doing a photoshoot in someone else’s underwear, which is weird.
EMBODY THE WORLD. EMPOWER YOURSELF.
Alter ego portraits make the power within you visible on the outside.
Camouflage portraits paint you into a scene, giving you ownership of your space in the world. Both are radically body positive experiences you’ll never forget. Also, paint on your skin is calming and cool, an other-wordly sensation unlike anything you’ve ever felt. All you need to bring is a little stillness and patience, and I’ll handle the rest.
“The brushes themselves are quite soft albeit the paint is often a little chilly. Kind of like a brisk sponge bath. Once dry though the paint feels amazing on your skin, like a shimmering, airy bodysuit and super soft!
”
“It forces you to sit (or stand) still, to focus on your body, your breath and letting go of any tension you’re holding in your muscles. It’s transformative- you literally feel like a work of art when the piece is completed- a living, breathing piece of art.
”
“Live body painting is my favorite where the ‘audience’ watches the painting come to life. I love watching them realize what the picture is and how they respond to you differently at the beginning and at the end!
”
IT’S STRANGE, NOT WEIRD
You so don’t have to worry about what to do. I’ve done this thousands of times, and I’ve developed a process that not only looks (if I may) utterly stunning but that will make you feel comfortable and supported. The privacy level is up to you. While public sessions can make for transformative experiences, I get that some pieces need to be private. We’ll find the option that works, so you can just show up and do you. Sessions do take time, so book one as soon as possible to avoid waiting for an opening.
A DIFFERENT NUDE
The history of western art is the history of a male gaze ogling a passive female form...I said it. My work flips “the nude.” It stops being about possessing a woman’s body and starts being about you and your needs. Imagine that. Imagine you as the gazer for a change, painted how you want to be seen.
