I'm a tattoo artist and illustrator from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. As a naturalist and wildlife artist, I am devoted to the flora and fauna of our beloved Great Lakes and the ecoregions that surround them. Whether it has fur, fins, petals, or feathers, I aim to cultivate an attentiveness and appreciation towards the natural world at all sizes and scales.

I love nature, but I especially love birds and herpetofauna. I’m an avid birder, and my idea of a good time is hanging out in a swamp from sunrise to sunset. I plan my schedule around migration season, long hikes, canoe trips, camping, and brook trout fishing.

I’m the owner of Late Bloomer Tattoo. Before tattooing, I worked as a graphic designer, where I learned to collaborate creatively with other people. Before design school, I worked in arts and culture for over half a decade. I initially pursued post-secondary education in Biology but dropped out before completing my degree to give art a shot.

One of the most rewarding parts of this work is connecting with people who share a deep interest in nature. I've tattooed botanists, aquaculturists, mushroom farmers, herpetologists, beekeepers, arborists, wildlife rehabilitators, and everyone in between. It's a privilege to tattoo and learn from people who have devoted their lives to helping preserve, appreciate, and understand our beautiful planet.
