Custom Creations
Desire. Inspire. Awaken.
First Moments
I enjoy creating custom tattoo designs by drawing on my creative vision and intuition to integrate multiple elements of a client's requests and their own personal flavour into my creations. Have a favourite photo of a pet, loved one or wanting a self portrait? I specialize in black and white photo realism. As you can see many examples of my work below, starting with a mother and new born baby. I love capturing intimate moments where the sexual/creative life force energy is prominently present in physical expression but also dancing deeper into more spritual and energetic realms in between the subtle shading and wrinkled sheets. The colourful buddha/mandala/lotus collaboration on my home page is another example of what I can do. Dabling with paint and various mediums I've taken on a few wall murals as well and am happy to come up with something unique to decorate home and/or office. wherever you are in the world, no worries, I will have your piece safely mailed right to your home. Prints available of most of my pieces upon request. Originals and prints vary in price depending on total time for collaboration, creation to finished piece, mailing requirements and professional scanning and printing fees. Due to the formatting, some drawings aren't fully visible. Draw inspiration below.
Playful Temptation
A completely organic selfie of a friend in between mundane tasks of laundry and cleaning. A pause to contemplate the intimate physical beauty and alluring sexual desire in a cheeky flirtation with another. Captured in stillness, shared with me, inspired in motion charcoal across paper. Sexy, sensual, classic beauty.
Safety in sunshine and stillness
What secrets, tears, laughs, shadows and light lie within all of those wrinkles in bedsheet? The love shared between partners, the desires, the fears, the worries. A moment of vulnerable elegance, in stillness we can find safety, surrender, softness.
Soul snowboarding
One of my many passions, carving through mountains on my snowboard. Reflected in snow flakes, eyes to see past mountain peaks sky scraping wispy white clouds. Tingling all over, a rush of ecstacy, serenity in awe of dancing night lights, colouring my heart with warmth and carving deep memories.
Leo the Sealion
An intricate chest tattoo design, combining a passion and long time career of deep sea fishing with a powerful resonance of the zodiac sign, Leo the lion. An incredible loving man, with a heart as deep as the ocean, voice as loud as lion's roar and a passion that burns brighter than the sun sign Leo himself.
Flutterby the Seaside
A long walk on the beach of the rugged west coast, a shell spoke of transformation, a butterfly waiting to be born through my creation. Intricate intimacies woven into the natural curves, a token of gratitude and remembrance for a short time but powerful love. Honoring the cyclical changes of life.
Tantrik Dance
In the mood for sharing a natural and intimate morning moment right before rising for the day. Inspiring flirtation, interweaving essence of bliss, sensuality, sacred sexuality and spirit, marked on my heart the way that dragon winds it's way around left side, representative of divine feminine. Tuning into the receptive, creative and nurturing aspects that have the strong support and awe of the masculine. A playful dance of energies, polarities coming forth through synchronicity.
Honoring Cycles
Huge mural for a meditation/workshop/yoga space. Reminding us of the inevitable changes that occur each moment, day, month and year. Knowing that in the depths of cold, dark uncertainty there will always be light and warmth once again. Death creates fertile ground for re-birth. Each season of our lives offers it's own teachings. There are times when we need to slow down, pause, reflect and rest. This prepares us for when it is time to blossom and ignite the fire in our hearts for all the passions we pursue.
Letting go of loved ones through loss
A custom memorial tattoo design. Moving through the shadows of grief and loss, healing through time and honoring all those we have loved and lost.
Free Fall
It's a warm autumn day in the prairies, vast ocean of meadows' waves goodbye to the day as the wind dances through dry grass and old flowers and weeds. Eagle soars in skies above, screeching, seeking, watching, waiting. Connection through wing tips slipping through open skies, skimming clouds then rivers in its quest for food. Eagle spirit brings marriage, union between day and night, cycles of life, from fall, winter, spring, summer into fall again, seeping into the roots of trees, holding earth's memories and origins. Her brother wolf knows the night as he howls to the moon, who lights the bare trees mirroring themselves in rushing rivers below and above. Tamarack tree, orange and gold creates a fiery forest reminding us of the way things change, turn, roll over, circle back. A sky of pink, orange and deep purple sinks into my heart, unmistakable prairie sunset catches all eyes in breath taking beauty. Wolf we dont see but know it is there, wildness in our hearts call out from every roaring river, vast meadow, wide open starry sky; to remember the words in the bone chilling howl that says "love fiercely through whatever arrives." We dream of freedom in all moments as free as sister eagle in order to see all perspectives of our lives; and truly, deeply understand the way our mother nature's calls. "I am home right where I am."
Soul Love
You know when you meet those people who radiate and vibrate through their entire beings with love for one another? The kind of love that moves mountains, paves pathways for inspiration, creativity and abundance and builds foundations solid enough to carry one another through life....a wedding gift to 2 very dear friends of mine, truly honoured to have been a part of their special day. Overflowing with gratitude and grace for having the opportunity to re create this special moment, charcoal to paper. My heart warmed through and through upon every little shaded detail, as this moment seeped into my moments of creativity. That's the power of true soul love.
Growing Direction
I hear the drums and singing of my ancestors calling me to return to my roots. It's here I re discover the power of the four directions in the Lakota people, my people. Guided by spirit through hand to brush to canvas, reminding me the power and wisdom that rest right beneath my feet, deep within mother earth, wrapped in warm embrace the roots of our elders, our teachers.
The Season of Fire and Ice
Custom sweater design for my tree planting camp summer 2021. A season of extremes, from inches of snow in the beginning to all time temperature highs and massive forest fires in the end. A memorable 3 months spent with people from all walks of life and counting 11 dogs in camp as furry family members too.
Nordic Cover-up
A tattoo design for a friend to cover up an old tattoo. My design was copied exactly by the tattoo artist whom did this piece. Happy to help transform skin into living canvas.
Epoxy resin table
This was my first epoxy project and it turned out amazing. The table now resides in my mobile tiny home. Completed on the road using my inverter for the orbital sander. Finished with linseed oil. Would love to do more pieces like this and am open for custom orders!
Big Shy Guy
The sun illuminates the tiniest tufts of fur, shimmering wet nose and those deep serious eyes; but alas, a gentle giant. Charcoal pencil portrait of a furry family member.
Luna Lady of the Moon
A companion and sister of "big shy guy" relaxing, perhaps in deep thought propped on the floor. How many revelations have arrived while lieing down in the kitchen? A sense of serious, of sad, or just plain contentment with what is right here, right now.
Art therapy! Let's co-create a transcendent experience.
