My work emerges from a life lived between California and the South Pacific, shaped by oceanic ecologies and the experience of inhabiting liminal cultural space. Working across painting, drawing, watercolor, and tattoo, I approach image-making as an embodied practice. In tattoo, skin becomes both surface and archive, where healing and illustration converge through collaboration.

Botanical and marine forms recur as structural frameworks rather than decoration. Oceanic movement, ropes and lines, and reef structures function as metaphors for migration, resilience, and connection. I am drawn to the tension between fragility and permanence, and to the ways images hold memory across geographies.

Through layered, highly rendered watercolor and deliberate mark-making, I examine hybridity, authorship, and belonging, creating images that feel intimate yet enduring.
