Ohio native and former Victoria’s Secret runway star, Megan Puleri, takes us into her world away from fashion & modeling – in her own words ✍️

Like any career, models look for outlets and ways to step away from the fashion world.  I’ve used drawing as therapy ever since I can remember.  At first it was in the margins of my notebooks in school while I sat lost in the ink on my paper, then I graduated to my first sketchbook.

 

 

Since then the drawings have evolved into things I didn’t even intend for. It’s rare that I start a drawing with an idea of what it’s going to look like when I’m finished, as I start putting the ink down I have hundreds of images in my head of what this drawing could be.

 

 

I would say it always just flows into something. I get inspired by the people around me, sometimes I draw photos I’ve taken.

 

 

It wasn’t until recently that I gained the confidence to share my work on social media or to anyone who I wasn’t close with. I had always wished someone would want to buy one of my pieces and that actually came true last year!
