Something happens in a room when people attend carefully to the same human being. Not analysis, something closer to recognition. NOOD is the space where that occurs. Professional models, all materials, something to eat. You show up as you are. We take care of the rest.

"Such a pleasant atmosphere! A creative and welcoming space. I really enjoyed my experience and will be back!"
Julie Veres, artist and co-owner of Unmediocre Store
"I walked in feeling so supported, aware, safe and prepared that I just jumped right in and modeled for the full studio time. I was so energized!"
A. Frank, Model
"You bring emotion and beauty to life modeling. Meeting you and experiencing life modeling has changed things for me in such a positive way."
Mike, Model
"I want to share my experience of the Introduction to Life-Modelling workshop with Ann Narky at NOOD. If you've ever thought about modelling for artists either professionally or for friends, take this workshop! Starting modelling was a big step out of my personal comfort zone. I had done a lot of life drawing but never modelled. I wanted to experience artistic expression from the other side of the easel. Ann approaches coaching with care, compassion and creates a space where students can be comfortable learning and asking the sometimes awkward questions about posing nude for artists. More than just sharing a depth of experience in the art and craft of modelling, Ann shares of herself as an individual and artist. Finally, Ann introduces her students to connections and contacts within the arts community in the lower mainland. Two big thumbs up for Ann Narky and NOOD."
