I am a visual artist originally from Saint Paul, MN. In 2014 I took residence in Fargo, ND and started pursuing my undergraduate degree in Art at North Dakota State University. I Involve myself in many mediums including painting, drawing, and screen printing.
​
In November of 2017 I began managing Ochre Creative Studios. We house 8 artists to work and have events together. This allows me to stay involved in the local art community.
​
As of 2018 I began my apprenticeship at Amarok Tattoo Studio under the mentorship of Athena Funk. I am pursuing tattooing as my career.
