I was born and raised in the Mojave desert, but quit big horizons for big trees when I moved to Portland in 1999. Good choices, great friendships, some luck, and hard work guided me to joining the crew at Optic Nerve Arts. I currently guest spot in Denver (CO), Los Angeles (CA), Las Vegas (NV), San Francisco (CA), Sante Fe (NM) and Austin (TX); I keep dates and details regarding guest spots, conventions and available designs posted in my highlighted Instagram stories (click on the link below!) I can't imagine my life without tattooing, I fall more in love with its magic every day.  I gain inspiration from small creatures, Victorian botanical illustrations, secluded hikes, vintage horror and most things macabre.

When I'm not tattooing I travel, ride motorcycles and get outside as much as possible. I collect bones, taxidermy, antiques and oddities and surround myself with as much of the natural world as I can bring inside.
