After graduating from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 2001, I moved to Toronto to pursue a career in textile art and fashion. I switched gears in 2007 to tattooing and have been working professionally in the trade ever since. On the side I write pysanky (Ukrainian easter eggs), make ceramics, stitch embroidery and quilts, paint, draw, collage, weave, knit, and make my own clothing.
