It’s nice to
meet you!
Whenever I’m asked to write a bio or describe myself, I always tend to start with the fact that I’ve been making art since I was old enough to hold a pen. I graduated with a degree in graphic design and visual art in 2021 (shoutout to all my fellow virtual grads), and have been making art in various forms ever since. I’m very lucky that my art has not only become a source of income, but also a source of community and expression for me.
Outside of creating art, I have a lot of love for things like thrifting and sustainable living, home decor, plants, hiking, and reading. I also work part-time at a local theatre and am a huge nerd for anything play-related.
I believe that creating a life that you love is the key to being truly happy in life, and that anything done in the name of love is time well spent.
My Work
I could sit here and use art history terms to describe my work all day long, but it really just comes down to connection. Feeling connected to yourself, to your body, to your gender, to your loved ones, to nature, to the world around you; at the end of the day, we’re all connected to something. And knowing that is what helps me navigate the world.
My work reflects exactly how I see the world around me, as well as how I see myself. I take a lot of pride in the fact that different people see different things in every piece I create.
tattooing
I graduated my tattoo apprenticeship at SnB Tattoo in June of 2024, and have been tattooing since October of 2023. I’ve only just begun what I hope will be a lifelong tattooing journey, and although SnB tragically foreclosed recently, I am thankful for the experience I had there.
I have a firm belief that the art of tattooing should be done with consideration and care for everyone that comes into the shop. Tattoos can be painful, both physically and emotionally, and I try my best to be considerate of where everyone is at when they come in for a piece. Consent is essential throughout every step of the process in order to ensure a safe space for both the client and the artist.
My career is still very young, but I have loved every minute of it . I am very thankful for every client that has given me the opportunity to put art on their skin.
Creating a safe tattooing space for the queer & LGBTQ+ community is and always will be a top priority for me. No amount of hate or intolerance will be allowed in my workspace.
Let’s talk.
Whether it’s a question about my books, a commission request, or an idea for a project you only had 10 minutes ago, I want to hear about it. Let’s work together and create cool stuff!
