About Me

Hi! I’m Punky!

I’m an artist, introvert, mom, sister, nerd, gamer, foodie, gentle parent, true crime junkie, and unapologetic reptile lover. Oh, and I dabble in photography too. Small talk? Not my thing. I’m more of an observer—someone who thrives on deep conversations and prefers letting my art do the talking. Living in the West End, I stand out like a neon sign in a sea of beige, but I wouldn’t trade the unique connections I’ve made in this quirky little community for anything.

Right now, I’m in the middle of something epic: I’m starting a tattoo apprenticeship at Oddworld Tattoo Studio in Grand Junction, Colorado. Yes, you heard that right—I’m learning to make badass ink art come to life, and soon I’ll be offering boudoir sessions in the same studio where I will be tatting. Think of it as a blend of ink, empowerment, and a whole lot of confidence. I’ll be here to give you tattoos that make you feel like a work of art.

I’m also a proud mom to a ridiculously talented 13-year-old daughter who’s basically a one-woman army. She’s my go-to model (and yes, she's always patient—well, most of the time). Our zoo includes a dog, a bearded dragon, and a cat who definitely thinks she’s in charge.

Family? Small but fierce. My daughter, my fur babies, and three siblings who mean the world to me. I’m drawn to themes of self-image, identity, raw emotion, fear, serendipity, healing, and growth. And, I’m proudly sober—this weird, twisted creativity of mine? 100% me, unfiltered, no substances required.

Art has always been my compass, and I’ve worked my ass off to hone my craft at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. This time gave me the tools to elevate my work and step boldly into the world of fine art, and now, tattooing is the next chapter of my journey. I'm always pushing myself as an artist—especially in fine art, where my soul feels most at home. Sure, I love capturing people through photography—portraits, ads, you name it—but when it comes to art, I’m all about creating pieces that make you stop and think, “Wow, she’s weird…but I can’t look away.”

If you're into bold art, unapologetic self-expression, or just want to chat about tattoos (or reptiles, or true crime), come find me. Let’s create something that tells your story.
