Stephen Moore 2023 watercolour (22.9 x 30.5 cm) unframed

Social anxiety is my disability. I know that sounds petty in the scheme of things, but it can be very disabling at times. Sometimes making you hide from the world and unable to perform your daily duties. I used to get very anxious around people that I didn’t know, still do at times. It’s one of the reasons I became a nude model. I have no choice but to face my fears and drop my guard and present myself completely when I’m modeling nude for artists and groups. Believe it or not, it’s actually helped me a lot with my anxiety. I’ve come a long way since my very first modeling gig and I continue to progress and come out of my shell with every session that I do.
