B.F.A. Fine Arts- University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Class of 2019. 

My journey into tattooing began shortly after graduating college. With over 10 years experience as a fine artist, I have a keen eye for composition, balance, and detail. 

I work primarily in an illustrative style of tattooing, with a preference for delicately-detailed, realistic, and fine-line designs.

Being an artist is a huge part of my identity. I began drawing and painting at a young age, and developed my skill throughout college. As an oil painter, the subject matter of my work focuses on the human figure and  portraiture.   The scale of my artwork is an important element of my process which ranges from dime-sized portraits to life-size figure paintings. 

When Iā€™m not designing tattoos or creating artwork my time is spent with my two cats, Pepper Anne, and Leo! I also enjoy being in nature, and visiting museums!
