Originally from California, I have lived across the country before settling here. During a tumultuous and nomadic early life, art was often the only constant that kept me grounded. I’d tend to illustrate things from books I was reading, creating to cultivate peace, or to amuse my friends. I have always kept an eye on my goal of tattooing, maintaining as many educational and career opportunities as possible that would facilitate this goal while I was yet unable to break into the industry. Prior to tattooing I originally pursed an education as a mortician, which highlighted a better understanding of human anatomy. To this day I always consider the anatomy with every design and placement. As a professional makeup artist, I learned how to work on a variety of skin tones and further my knowledge of harmonious color palettes. Eventually I landed work as an administrator for a tattoo studio which taught me invaluable lessons about the industry from the inside out. In 2023 I was granted the opportunity for an apprenticeship at Dark Age, and have been lucky to further my craft in an environment filled with generosity and talent beyond my graduation. My areas of inspiration include classic literature, the gothic and macabre, gaming, history, nature, weird fiction, sci-fi, illustration, and animation. I continue to seek instruction in the arts and consider my training to be forever ongoing and developing.
