I've just moved to Orlando, FL and am working at Hart/ Huntington Tattoo Company at Universal Citywalk. I also plan to continie guest spotting regularly at Lightwave Tattoo in Saugus, MA and Art and Soul Tattoo in LA, CA.

Tattooing is my true love in this lifetime besides my Pug dog, Precious, of course. It found me in the year of 1996 when Gale Mosman of White Mountain Tattoo had taken me under her wing. Around that time, I belonged to a Figure Drawing group, studied sculpture and pottery, had done murals and posters, taught art and and hand drumming to kids and adults, made jewelry, clothing, painting, etc. I made a serious commitment to dedicate my life to skin art. I vowed not to be a "jack of all trades and a master at none". My goal is to master this art of the tattoo. However, if I don't accomplish it, I'll die trying.

Traveling has made it possible to make several connections that wouldn't have been possible if I had stayed in one place. After several years at White Mountain Tattoo in Conway, NH, I flew the coop and have tattooed all over the United States and the Caribbean. Before nesting at Lightwave since it's brith in June 0f 2003, I'm lucky to have tattooed with Luc Zietek at Ink Designs in St Thomas, USVI and Kelly's Tattoo in Lincoln, NH. I've done guest spots at Independant Tattoo in Selbyville, Delaware and Art and Soul Tattoo LA, CA. I try to do at least a few conventions and guest spots a year. These travels are crossroads that I've taken with the unknown. Risk taking is fun for me especially when I intuitively know that it will only benefit my personal growth in the long run. My favorite pieces to do are Japanese and Asian influenced, Figurative art, flowers, Tikis, Totems, Pin Ups, Portraits, Realism, fine art recreations, Memorials, Fantasy, Native American, Old School and New School. My tattooing style is not limited to one genre, and I enjoy doing a variety of custom pieces. I love learning new things, and am always up for a challenge. The fuel for my inspriration lies in each of my clients. I'm excited to be the creator of these transformations especially if it is a vehicle to help ease someone to the next chapter of thier life, celebrate an event, memorialize a loved one, or put closure on an experience. However, simply creating a tattoo for the sake of art and adornment can be just as fun. It's gratifying to know that I've accomplished beautiful work on someone who'll enjoy it for a lifetime I try to stay in close contact with my regular clients since these relationships usually turn into friendships that begin with these intimate transformations. It is MY honor that I was chosen by each person to decorate their outer shell and honor thier visions.

Skin Art rules me in almost every aspect of my life. My passion for tattooing leads me to work around the clock whether it's drawing for the next piece, re working my protfolio, researching a design, networking, critiquing my work, and responding to emails. It might interfere with many of my own personal hobbies such as working out, creating for myself, cooking, writing, going to shows and movies, bowling, biking, play8ing games, shopping, and reading. However, I'm ok with that most of the time because it does allow me to do other exciting things such as meeting new and interesting people, have a great time, travel, and make a living through a career that I completely love.
