TIFF ARTIST

Born and raised in an artistic household I grew up in Santa Cruz, California. As a young adult I apprenticed under Terry Wells (my father passed Nov, 2020), and Joe Curtis. Seascape artists who revolutionized the Graphic Art Industry. Dad and Joe worked for many event Centers doing Show cards including working for Bill Graham, Flint Center, and Many others. Dad did many amusement Parks like Marina World USA, AMERICAN AIRLINES, WINCHESTER MYSTERY HOUSE, SANTA CRUZ BEACH BOARDWALK, and GREAT AMERICA. We did murals for city parks and between mural jobs I taught art like my mother who taught thoughsands of kids for 35 years in Santa Cruz County at her private art school Susan Gallery Art School (Currently in Hawaii). Although my main job growing up was Tattoos, something neither parent knew about. The school of hard knocks paved my career.

I am so honored to have made my mark on people across California and Hawaii. I’ve tattooed for 23 years now and still going strong servicing the Santa Cruz and Grass Valley Area. It’s safe to say I have mastered the commercial art industry.

I spent 5 years at the Academy of Art in the Animation VfX Department. Striving to design and execute an image that captures the audience on a level that connects companies/individuals to their client/vision is always the goal.

Thanks dad, it was like being raised by your grandfather from Montana, who was in the Military. You were an inspiration to many. Message me anytime on my phone.
