Model Search: Trans Woman for upcoming sculpture project

I am a transgender ceramic sculptor creating my next series, and am currently looking for a model. You can learn more about me and my work here.

This next exhibition will be on display at a gallery in Vancouver, June 2027, and is a celebration of trans communities.

Criteria:

  • lives in Vancouver BC

  • I am looking for a model who is on HRT

  • Comfortable with partial nudity: I will need to take reference photos of the model topless, underwear can be kept on.

  • I will have the photos printed in my studio for reference while sculpting, they are for my eyes only, I will delete and shred them after the sculpture is done.

  • I will be sculpting a lion head onto the model, so the model’s face does not need to be in the photos.

  • Offering $150 as payment over e-transfer, I will need an invoice

  • I will need to do a few sketches and take reference photos, should take about an hour or less

If you are interested, please email jscreatures@gmail.com with:

  • Your name, phone number and email

  • A photo of yourself (clothed, this is just so I have an idea of your body type)

  • A short bio about who you are.

To represent diversity within the trans community, preference will be given to a model who is BIPOC.

Deadline to apple: June 17th, 2026

thank you!
