Age: 30 Base: Montreal and New York What she does: Rock star, photographer, film-score composer and model Career highlights: Playing bass guitar in Hole and Smashing Pumpkins. Having her photographs published in US Elle. Holding two photographic exhibitions in Manhattan. Future plans Releasing her first solo album, Auf Der Maur, in 2003. Writing an opera with artist/designer Elisa Jimenez. Publishing a photographic diary of her years on the road. Releasing an album, Live In Los Angeles, with her Black Sabbath tribute band, Hand of Doom. Personal style: Pre-Raphaelite and romantic. Vintage Victoriana in fluid fabrics and autumnal colours. Favourite designers include Elisa Jimenez and Marc Jacobs. Ethos: "To create beautiful music that reflects the struggle between the masculine and the feminine, and the earthly and the spiritual. It is important for people to feel duality." Why she's "now": She is a creative polymath, a rock 'n' roller and is impossibly ethereal- all at once.
