 Artist Bio

  I am an ever learning pupil in this crazy world of Art. Surviving day by day off of imagination, determination, questions, answers and intrigue... sometimes very lazy and sometimes very adamant about getting things done.  I enjoy being able to create things that sometimes might mean absolutely nothing to me, yet sometimes be something very special to someone else.  I am so very thankful to my parents, who have both supported everything and anything that I ever wanted to do. 

     I was born in Oahu, Hawaii in 1981. Born in Hawaii, raised in Moreno Valley, Ca.  I like long walks on the beach, Pina Colada’s and Yorkshire terriers.  I attended the Art Institute of Orange County majoring in graphic design and dabbling in illustration.  I have been tattooing for 7 years as of 2010.  I enjoy tattooing black and grey, floral work and soft edged painting styles.  I try to maintain a versatile portfolio and am constantly trying to achieve that with all the pieces I work on.

    

     I started drawing at the young age of 4, and it has been a huge part of my life ever since. I can honestly say I never thought once about being a tattoo artist until the opportunity presented itself to me some years ago.  Now I am forever grateful to the people that have helped and inspired me to be where I am now in the creative and interesting world of tattooing. The saying is true, and I remember reading it on a sign the first time I ever got tattooed. "Love what you do, and you'll never work a day in your life." I remember reading that thinking to myself how rad that would be, but I doubted I would ever be that lucky.  And here I am.  I have a great family, great colleagues, and wonderful friends that have helped me to become the person I am today.  I still have a lot to learn, but I know I'm headed in the right direction.
