About the artist

My work explores themes of connection through symbolism rooted in the natural world, transformation, and personal experiences. I'm forever Inspired by organic forms in nature, devotion, and emotional storytelling.

My first love has always been painting. Rather that be murals, watercolor, or acrylic. I really enjoy collaborating with my tattoo clients on black and grey projects that feel both grounded and personal. Through each medium, I aim to create work that carries presence, resonance, and a lasting sense of meaning.

My Linocut process

Each linocut begins as a hand carved block, shaped slowly through layers of mark making and repetition. Printed by hand in small runs on handmade paper, every impression carries slight differences that make each piece uniquely its own.


I’m drawn to the quiet imperfections of traditional printmaking techniques. My process values texture, craftsmanship, and the subtle variations that honor the human touch behind each piece.
