Creating art makes me feel connected to myself, to others, and to moments words can’t fully capture.

I love creating black and grey realism with a cinematic feel to it. I’m drawn to pieces that tell a story, capture emotion, and become something deeply personal for the person wearing it.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in human connection, emotion, nature, music, film lighting, and the stories people carry with them. A lot of my work comes from wanting people to feel seen through art.
What would you do with $25,000?Right now, family would come first. My grandfather is battling terminal cancer, so I’d use part of it to help take some pressure off my grandmother during this difficult time. I’d also put it toward growing my family through another IVF round, and invest back into my tattoo studio to continue building a creative space that supports both artists and community.
