About the Model:

Ace has been a fine art model since 2015, collaborating with institutions like Washington University in St. Louis, STLCC, Saint Louis University, Gateway Academy of Classical Art, Stevens Institute of Business & Art, Fontbonne University, Phi Academy, and various private artists specializing in life drawing.

With a background in yoga and improv, Ace brings dynamic energy to the modeling stand, offering a variety of postures that are both creatively expressive and rich in narrative potential. She has a particular affinity for short poses that capture fleeting, delicate moments, but she also embraces the challenge of longer, more intricate postures that engage both the artist and the audience.

In addition to her modeling work, Ace is a seasoned radio DJ with experience as an on-air personality. She curates thoughtful playlists for model sessions, typically featuring instrumental music to complement the creative atmosphere. As a resident DJ at The Royale on second Monday evenings, Ace also enjoys performing live vinyl sets around the city. She looks forward to sharing music and creative energy with you soon!
