BIO

I began tattooing in Madison during my final year of college.  After graduating from the University of Wisconsin and spending a few years honing my skills, I moved to Saint Louis after receiving a job offer to work at Iron Age Tattoo Studio. While tattooing affords me an immense artistic outlet, I have continued to explore the more traditional approach of brush and paint. It has also afforded me the chance to travel and be influenced by the visual traditions of other cultures.

The last few years I have gone to tattooing by appointment only, focusing on larger custom projects. This has given me more time to focus on painting, exploring ideas and techniques, which are not always possible in the tattoo medium.

 

About the Collection

Creatures of myth and legend have always fascinated me. From an early age when being read to from Welsh and German faerie tales, these stories began to inspire my own inner monologue. They represented the "what if". Gathered from roughly the last year of my work, this series is an anthropological approach to the personal inner world these stories helped create.
