Samantha Feld-Holmes

Missed schooling because of severe endometriosis and wasn't allowed the right to continue my HSC due to a lack of support for online resources and I missed to many attendance days for valid medical reasons and deputy principal said I didn't deserve to be there despite above average attendance at a selective high school in NSW

ENDOMETRIOSIS AUSTRALIA

I have suffered with severe period pain and regular life dysfunction since I was a teenager. Endometriosis affects my daily life and I would like to raise awareness to the thousands spent out of pocket trying to find answers, time and recovery with multiple operations. 

Endometriosis Australia is lacking support by the government and surgeons alike using @ellefarrow and @refracting_light Dom Rui photo to show how this old school uniform and flowers made me feel leaving a school based on academic excellence due to severe pain and a lack of belief

I am a survivor of Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Relationship 

My body no longer keeps your secrets

Taking my identifiable name back makes it hard to runaway from a hard past. The book by Lucia Osborne-Crowley share many stories I personally related to titled "my body keeps your secrets"

Millons Missing- EMERGE AUSTRALIA

A non-for profit campaign I marketed on social media in 2015 during my final year of school that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgia Encephalomyelitis is more than people see. There are millions of us around the world with invisible illnesses

My faith- Catholicism  

I respect everyone right to their own belief system I have built my brand on diversity and inclusivity but a fun fact about me is I grew up raised and practice being catholic to the best of my ability.

This is my own eye inspired by looks I see shared on social media by incredible Russian makeup artists. I use my eye to represent the idea of seeing into my soul, my beliefs and my journeys. This is my diverse inclusive brand and I have spent years building it and am at the point I want to expand more artists to join my team

This is my portfolio and life missions 

Please support my artistic visions; custom bridal bouquets painted may be ordered when you book me and my team as hair or makeup artists for your big day or days.

I have felt trapped in a picture frame to be beautiful and complacent, meek and soft like woman ought to be. I am now screaming at the top of my lungs this is me and what I personally had to go through. Represented by the beautiful Zara Frazer
