With a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design from
The American Academy of Art in Chicago, MReyes was ready
for a career in freelance design & illustration
after 3 years in the field.
Then in 1998, she co-created and became Creative Director
of Feitiço Gallery, the midwest’s first
commercial exclusively fetish erotica venue. Local reviews
in the Chicago Tribune, MetroMix, and Skin Two Magazine(UK)
led to Feitiço gaining features on Wild Chicago,
Sin Cities(UK), CLTV, and MTV’s “Real World”
. Feitiço also helped pioneer a provocative yearly
event, “Marche de Sade”, held New Years
Eve. The gallery closed its doors in 2002.
Her private involvement in the underground scene coupled
with her passion for the visual arts generated her interest
in live productions. She performs off-broadway in collaboration
with Arena Producions in NYC at several The Black and
Blue Ball’s, a major subculture event. She’s
also performed in Philadelphia at Diabolique and the
Libertine Ball , SMack! NYC, as well as EXIT Chicago,
St. Valentine’s Day Massacre(Lab), and various
fetish events at Double Door Chicago. Additionally,
M.Reyes’ image can be found in “Generation
Fetish”(Lee Higgs), “The Beauty of Fetish
II”(Steve Diet Goedde), with earlier features
in Skin Two Magazine, Fetish Magazine, Cupido(Denmark),
On Our Backs, and most recently, Gothic Beauty Magazine#14.
She’s exhibited her graphic illustrations at
Feitiço Gallery(Chicago), Mars Gallery(Chicago),
China Club - NYC(Arena Productions), group exhibits
at Arena Studios(NYC), “Soul of A Woman”-an
all Woman art exhibit at the South Shore Cultural Art
Center(Chicago-2005), “SUPERGIRL” at The
Chambers Studios(Philadelphia-2006) and currently; APHRODITE
