I’m a Portland-based oil painter and tattoo artist working in realism, with a focus on storytelling, symbolism, and creating meaningful, lasting imagery. I believe the client’s experience is the most important part of tattooing, and I strive to create a calm, respectful environment while interpreting each person’s vision with clarity, care, and the least amount of trauma possible.
Tattooing and painting exist as parallel practices in my life, both rooted in observation, research, and emotional resonance. I earned my BFA (Bachelors in Fine Art) in Painting and Drawing with a minor in Art + Ecology in 2020 and completed my MFA (Masters in Fine Art) in 2025. Working at Birdhouse allows me to continue developing both practices in a supportive creative community while offering clients thoughtful, collaborative tattoo experiences.
