Since I can remember, my life has revolved around art. My father, an artist himself, provided endless encouragement and support throughout my life’s various artistic endeavors. I attended Western Kentucky University where I studied and majored in studio art with a concentration in sculpture. College allowed me to experiment in an array of artistic and creative experiences. After studying abroad in Australia, for my minor in interior design, I graduated in 2007. Upon graduation I co-founded Retrograde Studios, a non-profit organization geared toward providing opportunities in preparation for the future endeavors for the students and alumni of WKU Dept. of Art. Retrograde Studios opened many doors for me. One of which gave me the opportunity to work for the Capital Arts and the Youth Theatre, constructing set designs. Art has remained a constant in my life, carrying me from one exciting experience to another. Bronze casting, steel fabrication, oil painting, and lithography are just a few of the many artistic skills I’ve acquired from leading an art driven life. From mural painting, to portraiture, I am able to use my artistic experiences and find my way through life. ​

I am a seasoned graphic designer of over 20 years and fine artist with the plethora of artwork that is displayed throughout many collectors' homes and galleries. Most notably the Aaron Goodwin Collection and Jerry Baker Collection. You can also find works in the Western Kentucky University Fine Art Gallery as well as Cage the Elephant band members and Flaming Lips lead singer Wayne Coyne. I have created many signs for businesses and t-shirts you may see floating around the local city of Bowling Green, KY. Proficient in realism and graphic design/postmodern/avant garde tattoo design, I can create the most compelling works of art for your body.  Trash Polka (created by the Buena Vista Tattoo Club of Germany) is one of my favorite styles I like to work with. Some of my inspirational artists includes Volker, Paul Talbot, Jef Palumbo, and Gene Coffey. I believe that their influence of the ever evolving styles of tattooing has created a major impact on the sacred art.

With a background in painting and installing art, I understand the importance of not only art itself but to also take into consideration the way it is presented and craftsmanship. I take pride in my personal and professional work and enjoy being able to connect with people through it. I find inspiration in other cultures and I have been fortunate enough to travel to New Orleans and Venice Italy which are both rich in art and history. As an artist, I enjoy challenges and learning which has led me to immerse myself into the art of tattooing. Tattoos have always fascinated me as they are an art form that directly affects another person which makes the intimate connection between  art and viewer immediate. Tattooing is like a form of painting and just reacting to the “canvas” accordingly.
