I've been into art my whole life, and I've been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was little I knew I've wanted to do something with art for a career, so after high school I started attending Eastern Connecticut State University for a Visual Arts degree. Currently, I'm still attending school while tattooing, but I couldn't wait to get into an artistic career. Fame Montalvo took me under his wing and showed me the ways of tattooing, which is an art all in itself. I'm greatful to be in such a great shop that is truly family oriented. I'm also glad I went from canvases and paper to skin, because now my art can move and can have a lot more meaning to each individual I tattoo! Having art in my life is a necessity, and I'm glad I could make tattooing a part of it. 

 

   Other than my love for art, I was born and raised in Colchester, CT and I still live there today! I've always had a lot of respect for nature and creatures of all kinds (even spiders) so I usuallly spend my time hiking, doing yoga, and meditating when I'm not creating art. I'm also a mother to an adorable yellow lab that I've totally taught how to play dead and I'm more than happpy to come home to her every day. My family has always had a lot of pets from a lamb, to chickens, to iguanas, to dogs, and I love them all. When I can combine my love for nature with the love of art, I swear some magical things happen.
