You can be any shape and size : Drew Dowhanuik

 Where are you from, and how would you describe your life growing up?

I was born and raised in Estevan, SK. Growing up I had a pretty average lifestyle coming from a small town.

How did you find your way in front of a camera, modeling?

Well, funny story. Deanna actually looked me up on Facebook, checked out my profile and asked me to come model for her.

What do you like best about being a model?

I am seeing this as an opportunity to learn more about myself. I am much more confident and love seeing myself through the eyes of others.

Besides modeling what is the most important thing in your life? Do you have any unusual talents?

I started riding horses at a young age. I believe I was 7 or so. I now do competitions in rodeos, I barrel race with my two horses.

What do you think is the most challenging thing about modeling and what advice would you give to new models?

Just be true to yourself. You have to love yourself and be confident in order to stand in front of the camera.

What is your favorite way to relax? What do you do for fun?

When I need to relax I find myself going for a walk out to my horses, or having a hot bath.

What would you consider your strongest attribute? What do guys compliment you most on?

I am confident in the way I carry myself. You can be any shape and size, and feel beautiful in your own skin. I feel sexy in front of the camera. I also love my baby blue eyes.

What are your dreams and goals and ambitions?

To be the best woman I can be and to be confident and positive.

What does being published in this Modelz View magazine mean to you?

I have always wanted to be published in a magazine and this photoshoot gave me the opportunity to be published. I am so grateful.
