I grew up in small rural towns in the Pacific Northwest. My father was an engineer for the National Forest Service and we frequently relocated for his work. All of my finest memories revolve around the tranquility of nature and the peace and solitude that I found there.

My father has always painted, at least since I’ve been around. I would watch him working on his homemade easel wishing I could do the same. When I was 9 years old, my parents purchased a hobby set of acrylic paints for me and I was never far from them. When I went to college at Washington State University, I experimented with all types of mediums and began learning about computer generated art and design.

Digital art was an interesting pursuit and kept me afloat financially for a few years. My passion was and remains physical painting. Acrylics have lured me back with their ever-expanding catalog of hues and mediums. For the past 16 plus years I have experimented with many materials in addition to acrylic paints. I keep changing the way I work by trying to create art that is not only beautiful but also visually unique. It is a task that is exceedingly difficult but one of the most important mantras I have.

I participate in solo shows and group shows throughout the United States. I sell and ship art worldwide.

Sephora

Sephora started modeling at 15 years old, which quickly became a real passion that she practiced alongside her art studies. At the end of her studies, she allowed herself to progress in photography, to put more and more of herself into it, until a sudden autonomy and recognition.

However, she continues her professional artistic journey. She trained as a jeweler in Geneva as well as a higher education in watch design in Switzerland.

Sephora is a designer of luxury products and a photo model. These two qualifications come together on her Instagram account linking photography and her passion for jewelry.

“Through being a photo model I like to be able to convey certain emotions and philosophical ideas. I also naturally like to share my passion for jewelry and watchmaking. It is a real pleasure for me to collaborate with beautiful brands and to share my findings with my community. So photography allows me to express myself, I share a piece of who I am and my inspirations.”

However, she continues her professional artistic journey. She trained as a jeweler in Geneva as well as a higher education in watch design in La Chaux-de-Fonds.

The making of the EP “Toxic”

The making of the EP “Toxic”

The new artist opens up in an emotional interview about the reason behind her EP title and what inspired her to choose this name.
“ I utilized all of my past experiences and emotions that I have ever felt in these failed love relationships and solidified it in my music. Simply because I did not have someone to guide me through phases of life or love.” Jodee states.
Jodee opens up about how she had to overcome abusive relationships, and how she had to seek within herself to reassure that this is not something she deserved.
“I have witnessed so many relationships result in physical, verbal or even mental abuse, to the point where the victim believes he or she deserves it. In reality no one deserves such mistreatment.”

Toxic is what is used vaguely, as an eye opener for many to point out the signs of these poisonous relationships. Toxic, the music video released in March 2022 starring well known Model and Actor Joseph .B. Augustin, displays how infidelity, mistrust and physical abuse patterns out, and yet neither the abuser nor the victim leaves. Jodee plays the victim that cannot leave, because she is loathed in gifts but genuinely is in love. Tune in more to find out.

AA Clinic Premio Europeo de Tecnología e Innovación 2022 en medicina estética avanzada

La Asociación Europea de Industria, Tecnología e Innovación entregó la semana pasada los PREMIOS EUROPEOS A LA TECNOLOGÍA E INNOVACIÓN 2022, entre cuyos premiados se encuentra este centro ourensano especializado en tratamientos e intervenciones de medicina y cirugía estética avanzada. El reconocimiento es fruto de una apuesta constante por la innovación, con el Dr. Alejandro Acuña a la cabeza de un centro que es referente en la aplicación de tecnologías punteras como Vaser Lipo y Renuvion

 

El Dr. Alejandro Acuña recogió el premio otorgado por la AEITI arropado por el equipo que compone AA Clinic. En su discurso confirmó la creciente demanda de tratamientos estéticos reflexionando sobre qué motiva el aumento de tratamientos de medicina corporal y facial.

Según el Dr. Acuña la sociedad se encuentra en un momento de gran desarrollo tecnológico y esto permite ofrecer soluciones que antes no existían. Señala además, que los costes se han reducido haciendo más accesibles los tratamientos estéticos a todo el mundo, y esto, sumado a los resultados, ha propiciado un aumento exponencial de la demanda.

El Dr. Acuña también ha explicado qué metodología se debe seguir en medicina estética, y resalta la importancia del rigor médico. Como director de AA Clinic informa que los procedimientos que siguen toman como punto de partida un estudio preliminar del historial y situación clínica del paciente, para decidir la aplicación de cada tratamiento. Esta es la única forma de garantizar un servicio vanguardista, seguro y que garantiza resultados.

Tras 10 años dedicados a la medicina estética avanzada, el Dr. Acuña agradece el cariño que sus pacientes les transmiten. Además, ha querido señalar que el deber de todo médico es atender siempre al máximo bienestar de sus pacientes, y se alegra de que en AA Clinic el feedback de los pacientes es que han cumplido un sueño y han conseguido un mayor bienestar físico y mental.

Durante la entrega del galardón ha querido destacar una tecnología cada vez más conocida, Vaser Lipo. Esta metodología constituye la tecnología más avanzada en extracción de grasa sin cirugía actualmente, y gracias a ella es posible realizar liposucciones menos invasivas. El Dr. Acuña ha querido remarcar que, aunque la tecnología Vaser Lipo no requiere cirugía, no es una intervención sencilla. El equipo de AA Clinic ha reafirmado la importancia de contar con un equipo específicamente cualificado e instalaciones medicalizadas para llevar a cabo tratamientos efectivos y 100 % seguros.

Además, el doctor ha explicado que la tecnología Vaser no se emplea únicamente con fines estilísticos. En marzo de 2021 AA Clinic inauguró la Unidad Gallega de Lipedema, pionera en España para combatir una enfermedad que afecta a alrededor del 12 % de la población femenina y al 2 % de la masculina, y que se puede tratar hoy con garantías gracias a esta técnica revolucionaria.

El Dr. Alejandro Acuña ha finalizado la recepción del premio invitando a todo el mundo a conocer Ourense y su centro AA Clinic, donde la tecnología de última generación, el rigor, la innovación y los resultados, han permitido a una clínica ourensana situarse a la vanguardia nacional en medicina estética, compitiendo con los centros más exclusivos de Madrid y Barcelona.
