"Geisha are artists, first and foremost. Art, (gei) defines their proffesion and place in Japanese socitey. In fact,the word geisha means, "Artist" or, "Beauty person."
To put it shortly, geisha are artists who use themselves as the canvas." Resource

When I stumbled upon this definition, it had me thinking of myself and my art and inspired this piece. I too am an artist who often uses herself as the canvas.

No white skin tone cuz I wanted color. It looked bad with so much white.

I love any excuse to embrace my Japanese heritage

model: me
fan: A gift from a friend in Japan who I miss speaking with. She used to practice her english on me. Yoko, if you see this, I miss you
