Like most artists, I’ve loved making things since I was a little kid. I started painting at a young age and have been trying to hone my skill set ever since. I earned a Bachelors of Fine Arts from UW Stevens Point, with an emphasis on 2D design (primarily painting and printmaking), and a minor in art history. I started tattooing in 2013 and wouldn’t trade the job for anything—it’s a dream. I’m very heavily influenced by the natural world; geology, space, flora and fauna as well as the complex patterns found throughout nature.
