As a child art was a passion. Growing up my grandmother worked at a local art gallery. I spent lots of time enjoying the different exhibits with her. I began taking oil painting lessons in elementary school. my grandmother was always supportive and played a big role in my passion for art. In high school I focused my studies on everything art related. when I had taken ALL the art classes the school had to offer I enrolled in college art courses along side my normal high school schedule.

I decided tattooing was a passion for me and also a great way to make a living as a full time artist. I knew it was something I would do! After graduating in 2003 I put my art career on hold to raise my family.

I regained my passion for art in 2012 when a part time apprenticeship fell into my lap. With long time friend Brenna Keefe at True Tattoo in St. Albans VT. Early in my career I was pulled towards watercolor style tattooing. I took my time learning the ins and outs of the tattoo world.

In 2014 I began working with Sara King of Sara's tattoo parlor in St. Albans VT. Sara had 10 years of experience and helped me refine some of my skills. In 2015 we moved locations. Sara and I worked together to open a new shop called Luminary Ink.

With lots of hard work and dedication I grew my skills and my clientele. The demand for custom tattoos grew! In April 2018 I opened my own studio in Stowe VT with a different vision of how things should be for artists in the tattoo industry...

I am beyond thrilled to share my passion and skills with fellow like minded artists. I couldn't be happier to be surrounded by the people I trust and care for in this world...and to make art everyday! Sometimes I forget this is my "job"!
