I am a United States Air Force reservist with over 10 years of continued service. Beyond my military career, I am pursuing my degree in psychology. My love for the arts has been a part of me since childhood, and I found solace in painting during the pandemic lockdown.

​

In 2020, a new chapter unfolded as I ventured into the world of oil painting. This artistic pursuit provided me with a means to channel my emotions and ideas onto canvas, giving life to captivating visual narratives. However, my artistic journey took an intriguing turn when the shop owner, Addam North, approached me during Gallery Night. This marked the beginning of my journey into the realm of tattooing.

My tattooing journey is characterized by my affinity for the black and grey palette and my attraction to darker subjects. The unique style I've developed, reminiscent of smoke and ink, encapsulates my vision of artistry. This captivating approach showcases my artistic skill and demonstrates my ability to evoke emotions and tell stories through my tattoo work. With my distinctive style and fervor for exploring the shadows of art, I continue to craft thought-provoking pieces that mirror my experiences, passions, and creative essence.

To schedule outside of my available days or to discuss your vision please contact me through email or social media, I will do my best to get back to you within 24 hours.

From the moment I could first grip a pencil, I found myself captivated by the world of art. My father has always been my biggest inspiration, as well as my #1 fan. I can remember back to my youth, watching him create enchanting portraits of him and his buddies on fishing expeditions just using Sharpie markers. With all those swirling colors, I was hooked. Art, in all its quirky, whimsical, and bold forms, has become my true calling. I've reveled in the joy of translating my thoughts, emotions, and imagination onto canvas, creating pieces that reflect my unique perspective on life. Art has been my constant companion, walking with me through the many stages of life to this very moment. For the last several years my go-to medium has been acrylic paint, but now I get the honor and privilege to be a tattoo artist. While I don’t have a definitive style (yet), I am most thrilled about cartoon and surreal styles of tattoos. Book with me and let’s make some magic!
