Get to know the artist
Any/all
Started tattooing as of Jan. 2023
I grew up in San Diego, CA and moved to the Bay Area for college. I attended California College of the Arts in Oakland where I graduated with a BFA in ceramics. I originally moved to Bend to be a lifty for the winter of 2021 and ended up sticking around.

I’ve always had a passion for art in all sorts of different mediums. I wanted to be able to work in an artistic career full time, while getting tattooed has helped me feel more comfortable in my own skin. Combining these two aspects of my life made sense.
-
I’m still exploring different styles but I am heavily drawn to American traditional, illustrative, fantasy and black work.
-
Painting, drawing, textiles, sculpture, and most of all ceramics.
-
Some of my favorite artists include Frida Kahlo, Christian Rex van Minnen (@van_minnen), Kerry James Marshall, Nicki Green (@nickigreenstudio), Toshio Saeki, Joan Lalucat (@joanlalucat), and Crowley Zwartjes (@grandparoadkill)
-
I love snowboarding, reading, baking, and gaming.
-
I enjoy spending time with my dog and reading thriller/horror/sci-fi novels.
-
I’d love to visit Japan for its culture, history, natural landscapes, and (mostly) for the food.
