I am artistic because I come from an artistic line of women. I remember watching my mom paint and cut and glue sculptures for her college art class assignments. Later she would make trip after trip to the creek to collect river rock to redo the floor and wall around our wood stove or make rock creeks and paths through our yard. My grandma was always doing textile art, whether it be sewing stuffed animals, quilts, spinning yarn, knitting sweaters or cross stitching. Many of her patterns were published in craft magazines. I also remember her hand painting the colors onto the cover pages for the Auxilary Club's fashion show programs every year. So I watched them working on these amazing projects and was encouraged to be creative and resourceful too because, "smart people don't get bored".
I graduated from college 9 months pregnant to receive my BA in Art Studio at Chico State, May of 2004. One year later I began my tattoo apprenticeship under Ronita Yverra.
When I'm not working I'm spending time with my family, painting, reading, and running like the wind.
My greatest joy is using my daughter for a pillow.
I was almost born with 11 fingers.
