Michael Asti-Rose

Biography  

According to Hollywood...Michael is an eccentric and prolific artist who oozes his passion for the goddess, nature, community and naturism in his beautiful, artful expressions. His creations are spectacular and defy the norm, as he graciously shares his love of the human body in all its natural glory.  It is truly an example of the simplicity and openness that naturism brings to those who experience the freedom it lends.
