Artist’s Statement

I am a multidisciplinary creator working across storytelling, sculpture, painting, illustration, and tattooing. I’ve never been someone who could stick to one medium, style, group, or location. Just as I seek to bridge the gaps between unexplored spaces, my artistic endeavors feed into one another in ways I often can’t foresee. In this exploration, I am inexplicably drawn to the subtle threads that weave them together.

I’m deeply influenced by the alchemical process of transformation and the way we, as humans, can transmute our deepest emotions and rewrite the narratives of our lives. Tattooing is a literal manifestation of this process of death and rebirth. Clients come to me with the intent of being permanently marked by my art: art created through co-collaboration, depicting their stories of pain, joy, loss, and discovery. To accurately tell these stories, I must surrender to intuition and artistic flow; any attempt of the mind halts progress.

Whether on canvas, clay, or skin, my process is rooted in ritual and intention, requiring my full presence of spirit and an unjudging mind. I love the juxtaposition between the perceived permanence of tattoos and physical art. While often seen as fixed, a tattoo will eventually return to the warm embrace of the earth, while physical art may last for generations. I have always been unafraid to start over, no matter how long I’ve spent with a piece: unlike tattooing, which requires a surgeon’s precision. The push and pull between my art forms with their similarities and stark differences fuels the fire beneath my feet, keeping me in constant motion, dancing on my toes as my art remains ever in a state of transformation.
