About the Artist

I am a fine artist, a tattooer, and an art educator with a deep passion for storytelling through visual art. Originally from California, I have been living in the South Pacific for over 20 years, immersing myself in the region’s rich artistic traditions. I have practiced the art of tattooing across the Pacific, from the shores of California, to Fiji, Tonga, and Hawaii. I am incredibly honored and proud to now own and operate Ink Sanctuary tattoo studio in Port Vila, Vanuatu. 

With a bachelor's degree in art, I am currently pursuing a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Art, continuously refining my craft and exploring new ways to create meaningful, lasting work. My experience as an art educator has shaped the way I approach tattooing—with patience, intention, and a commitment to artistic excellence.

Beyond tattooing, I am a mother of six, which has given me a profound appreciation for individuality, resilience, and creativity. At Ink Sanctuary, my goal is to provide a space where every client feels seen, heard, and valued—where art becomes a collaboration, and every piece tells a story.
