My most recent and now biggest piece is my Medieval style Hydra sporting 3 full heads and a head cut off leaving only a stump. The story of the Hydra has always resonated with me. The act of cutting one head only for two to spring back in the one heads place. The Hydra, a Herculean challenge. Virtually untameable and extremely hard to pin down. You can cut, tear, grind, and slash at me but I will come back with a determination that has doubled.

Every piece would say something different. My Tex Avery wolf with his heart eyes and unfurling tongue would say something completely different than my Studio Ghibli inspired tattoo. However, all of my pieces are a part of me come to the surface. They would say Im a collection of passions that range heavily and have no bounds. I am a creative nerd who enjoys a good laugh, a good sense of humor, but also likes a deep conversation about philosophy.

I would say I would get more tattoos but that is part of the package! I am a burlesque, nerdesque, drag show, and side show performer who has a passion for what I do. I am only able to do what I do because of the amazing community that supports, creates, and hosts these events, shows, and festivals. Last year I was awarded an amazing honor of th 2024 AZ Strippy Burlesque Performer of the Year! I would love to give back a fraction of the immense support I have received from this great community.
