Born and raised in an artistic household I grew up in Santa Cruz, California. As a young adult I apprenticed under Terry Wells (my father passed Nov, 2020), and Joe Curtis. Seascape artists who revolutionized the pop culture sign industry. Dad and Joe worked for many event Centers doing Show cards including working for Bill Graham, Flint Center, and Many others. Dad did many amusement Parks like Marina World USA, AMERICAN AIRLINES, WINCHESTER MYSTERY HOUSE, SANTA CRUZ BEACH BOARDWALK, and GREAT AMERICA. We did murals for city parks and between mural jobs I taught art like my mother who taught though sands of kids for 35 years in Santa Cruz County at her private art school Susan Gallery Art School (Currently in Hawaii).
I am so honored to have made my mark on people across California and Hawaii doing Tattoos for 27 years. Servicing the Santa Cruz and Auburn Area. It’s safe to say I have mastered some major aspects of the commercial art industry.
I spent 5 years at the Academy of Art in the Animation VfX Department. Striving to design and execute an image that captures the audience on a level that connects companies/individuals to their client/vision is always the goal.
Thanks dad, it was like being raised by your grandfather from Montana, who was in the Military. You were an inspiration to many. You can message me @ 831-331-6092
