In erotic environments where cameras are forbidden, Luma Rouge is there to capture the beauty, creativity and spectacle in her artwork. Sitting discreetly in the darkened room, she draws at the speed of lightning, using grease pencils, watercolors, and whatever liquid happens to be nearby.

Her favorite subjects are strippers, burlesque dancers and fetish kings and queens — strong, sensual beings who will keep you on your toes and leave you begging for more.

In addition to sketching the action live at underground venues all over New York, Luma has created artwork at the Jewish Museum’s Wind Up party and on the set of the movie Burlesque starring Cher and Christina Aguilera. Her drawings from the filming process are featured in Rizzoli’s companion book, Burlesque: The Motion Picture.

Luma’s art has been showcased at the Museum of Sex and in marketing material for the New York Burlesque Festival.
