The Painted Lady LA
About
I’ve been painting and drawing since before I could walk. My father was an incredible illustrator, my next door neighbor an acclaimed artist; between those 2 mentors, I had a very firm foundation. From there, I continued learning any and every creative avenue that I could (sewing, crafting, sculpting, songwriting, singing, painting, tattooing, drawing, culinary, painting, etc). My friends usually joke by saying “what DON’T you do?” While studying at Mount Saint Mary’s University, I decided to quit and start my tattoo career. I’ve been doing free lance art since then (2011). I’ve had numerous solo shows, gallery openings, group shows, had my art featured in music videos and photo shoots, I’ve sold my art to people all over the world. Let me help you find your artistic voice! Let me teach you what I know.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student, I try to gauge their current skill set, where they want to go with their art. From there, I build my lesson plans and help dreams come true.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As well as the college courses, private lessons, my tattoo apprenticeship,and classes taken at random locations; I’ve learned whatever I didn’t already know how to do by watching YouTube and reading up on things I wanted to learn.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
