Creating art for me is a way to turn the abstract noise of thoughts and emotions into something tangible and permanent.

My favorite type of art to create is anything realistic and colorful. Bright bold colors with deep rich blacks creating the perfect contrast to my images. Colored pencil is my medium of choice, I tattoo for a living and also love to paint.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the small details of life. I notice things that most people wouldn’t. A discolored leaf, a reflection in a water drop, the way light shines on a guitar at a live concert.
What would you do with $25,000?I’m building a new house and my tattoo studio is a part of it. I would use 25,000$ to put towards finishing my tattoo studio.
