Born and raised in Boulder CO, I've been an artist my whole life, always passionate about drawing and creativity. I earned a Bachelor's in Fine Arts and Psychology, with a minor in Gender Studies, from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Before pursuing tattooing, I managed a hair salon while searching for an apprenticeship, which led me to Metamorphosis Tattoo Studio and my mentor Serina/Twiggy. Something that really drew me into Metamorphosis Tattoo Studio was the name itself, lending a hand to someone’s transformation big or small feels so important to me.
My art is inspired by folklore, mythos, and art nouveau, with a strong focus on the female figure. I'm passionate about how tattoos can help people align with their true selves, and I’m excited to create something meaningful for you, whether custom-made or inspired by my work.

This tattoo features a stylized raven with deep purple and blue hues, its body adorned with celestial symbols like golden stars and a crescent moon. The design gives the raven a mystical, night-sky appearance, blending the bird’s form with cosmic elements.
This tattoo features a vibrant and colorful koi fish, elegantly swimming with flowing fins. The fish is rendered in shades of purple, green, and pink, with intricate scales and fins that add texture and depth. Cherry blossoms are intertwined with the koi, adding a soft, floral touch to the design.
This tattoo features a detailed depiction of a human face wearing a dragon or wolf-like mask, blending elements of both human and beast. The mask has fierce, sharp features, such as prominent teeth and angular eyes, while the face beneath has a soft, almost serene expression.
This tattoo features a beautifully detailed bird, possibly a jay, perched gracefully while holding a mask-like human face in its talons. The bird is rendered in fine black and grey shading, with intricate attention to its feathers, giving it a realistic yet stylized appearance.
