I grew up in Port Angeles, Washington, and have now lived in Eugene, Oregon since 2016. After studying anthropology and graduating from the University of Oregon, I turned my attention back to art in an effort to incorporate it into my everyday life through tattooing. In 2023, I had the privilege being one of the first students at Out of Step and started studying under the incredibly talented Ryan Bollinger.
Art has always played an important and integral part of who I am since I could hold a pencil. My earlier work was rooted mainly in graphite drawings and slowly branched into digital art, ink, and watercolor. Themes surrounding nature, wildlife, and fantastical creatures have always been at the core of what I gravitate towards, which I have carried into my career as an artist. That being said, I am always looking for new ways to expand my interests and capabilities, and I am honored to continue this journey through tattooing.
