Welcome St Merrique








"I'm a nature girl and am passionate about anything that represents growth, change, and enlightenment to the higher self." St Merrique

"Spirit Dance"




It's not the first time we publish St Merrique, art model, author and singer for Dhatura, but we never did a complete feature about her.

She has so many facets beyond her somptuous beauty...

St Merrique is an art model we love since a long time (I'm her fan !). And she's also an author (who took the time to translate some of my texts ! Do you imagine the work it is ?...). I put behind the photograph she sent me a song she wrote and I'll keep till the end of my life. For sure.

And St Merrique is an inspired singer with a true voice I hear often, even if she doesn't know.

St Merrique, we're so glad to know you.

You'll find St Merrique at : her photoblog, her Model Mayhem 1, her Model Mayhem 2, deviantART, her MySpace, Dhatura official site.

















" I'm a nature girl and am passionate about anything that represents growth, change, and enlightenment to the higher self.

Being at one with Earth, and giving back the love she has given us; going back to our roots, self-realization; birth, reincarnation, death and rebirth; the thinner lines between surrealism and the coffee we stir every morning; don't forget yourself..."

About her modeling work :

" I'm always pleasant to work with bringing positive energy to a shoot. I'm very down to earth and appreciate creativity in original work. I take my work seriously while still having fun with it. I have determination in positive execution of a shoot. I can incorporate many different looks, styles, concepts, and emotions. I work well when refreshed with new, creative and original ideas. So if you have crazy ideas, don't be afraid to ask.

" NOTE TO PHOTOGRAPHERS :
This young lady is elegant, graceful, versatile, pleasant, intelligent, cooperative, exceptionally skilled at posing, as beautiful as a woman gets, and just plain cool to hang out with !
I HIGHLY recommend her to any professional photographer who would like to work with a model who has an exotic look and requires no direction. She's magical !"

As the masterful poet and musical engineer for Dhatura :



" Every goal, wish, dream, or bit of hope starts with how you apply yourself, the steps you’re willing to take to get there… the journey.


A journey is the length of courage you hold to keep going now matter how distant your dream, how faint the light appears ahead, or how dark the road may seem. For some, that dream is in the universal love and influence of music.


For Dhatura, this budding seed of musical romance began in the early spring of 1999 and has, undoubtedly, only grown in influence over the years through sounds of rock, jazz, and funk to start. For some, music may just be a passing fancy, but for the members of Dhatura it is a lifelong journey, only to get better with time.

Merrique and Willie bring their own style, their own beats and poetic lyrics that can either keep you dancing, take you to another world in time, or reach the bottom of your aching soul to pull you through.

While Merrique is the masterful poet and musical engineer, Willie adds his own creative touch and soulful artistry with the guitar and bass. There is only room left to grow to inspire music lovers around the world.

As you listen to the unbelievable new sounds of Dhatura, close your eyes and listen. Listen carefully to the funky fusion beats and collaboration of a voice that will no doubt, addictively stay in your mind."
