I began tattooing in 1992. I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drawing and Painting from Wayne State University, Detroit, in 1996 and my Master of Fine Arts in Medical and Biological Illustration from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1999. As my skillset grew, so did my ability to unite my formal training with the natural talent I have. The result is a body of work in precisely realistic and brilliantly illustrative style.
