"Ever since I can remember, I have had an affinity for all things art, fantasy, and wild.
To me, it seems only natural to combine these passions."

I am a Cranbrook-based artist with over two decades of professional experience. My focus is creating fantasy and wildlife artwork, with a love of blurring the lines between them. My background as a graphic designer continues to lend itself to my various artistic endeavours, such as tattoo, logo, and advertisement design.

Currently, I am pursuing art as a full-time career, including tattooing. I am grateful to create with my hands and mind as living as an LGBT+ neurodivergent person, with extreme fibromyalgia, and other disabilities, limits me to what kinds of work I can do.

Tattoo apprentice My tattoo apprenticeship journey started in early 2022 at Soul of the Boreal tattoo studio, where I am being mentored by the owner, Kya J. Dubois. I love everything about this career choice, including getting to know each client while learning the trade. I still have a lot to learn, but I look forward to both the challenges and rewards of completing my apprenticeship and creating lifelong artwork for my clients. 

Nature art My curiosity and love of nature is a constant inspiration and pushes me to create artwork that connects people to the unknown and often misunderstood, aspects of wildlife. I do this in hopes of sparking understanding, preservation, and conservation. I have a keen interest in collaborating with wildlife groups, community-focused endeavours, and government organizations.

Fantasy art I have always enjoyed creating original worlds and the mythical flora and fauna that inhabit them. I feel that drawing on my love and knowledge of real-world biology brings an extra sense of believability to my creations. I would love to provide my combined passion for fantasy and art to companies that create products for my fellow nerds. This includes tabletop gaming and more.
