Born in Texas, and raised in Eugene, Oregon. Even as a little girl I was an artsy little punk. Coloring on walls, cutting my hair, even giving my stuffed animals mohawks. My parents learned I needed creative outlets or I would tear the house down with safety scissors.
I've searched for my perfect artistic medium my whole life. I tried everything: Steel welding, painting, architecture, ceramics, printmaking, and many more. I found that the projects I really loved were individually customized. I started painting shoes, and screen printing t-shirts for friends and family outside of school. Tailoring each one to fit their personality and taste. A couple years before I graduated college, I knew that being a tattoo artist was everything I was looking for in an art medium. Now that I'm here, I know I was right!
I feel so blessed to be here at Area 51, and to have finally found what I love to do more than anything! The styles I enjoy most are tribal, black work, "dottism", henna, and anything swirly and organic. However I enjoy it all as long as I get to tattoo!
I've learned so much from everyone, especially my teachers Chris 51 and Joshua South. I look forward to learning and growing as an artist, meeting new and wonderful people every day, and getting to be a part of their lives forever through a tattoo.
Come meet me and my amazing new family at Area 51. I'll be at the new shop with Dani-san, Josh, and Kendra. 824 Q St, in Springfield. The original shop is 3585 Main St. Come see us! We would love to meet you!
