I am a painter, illustrator, and junior tattoo artist. My work explores identity, transformation and the balance between vulnerability and power. I earned my MFA in Visual Arts from the Columbus College of Art & Design in 2021, which gave me a strong foundation in composition, color and storytelling. In April of 2025, I left a career in higher education to pursue tattooing - a decision fueled by my desire for deeper creative fulfillment and artistic freedom.

With an empathetic approach and the perspective of a painter, I work closely with each client to translate their stories into custom artwork that feels authentic and enduring. I'm especially inspired by personal mythology and the ways we construct meaning through both private and shared histories, which guides much of my artwork whether it is skin, canvas and paper.

When I'm not in the studio, you'll likely find me traveling the world in search of inspiration, chasing whispers of the paranormal, or crafting stories - from fantastical fiction to creative nonfiction. No matter the medium, my central goal is always the same: to make art that connects, empowers and leaves a lasting energetic impression.
