She is a woman of color who lives in North Portland, actively showing and selling her art at the Alberta Street Gallery, Saturday Market. Plus, she is a tattoo artist. She advises to get your hustle on to make it as an artist which she is definitely doing here in Portland, Oregon. Her specialities are doing portrait commissions of people and animals and capturing the uniqueness of Portland. Since quarantine, she's set up her living room as a disco roller rink.  Tell us briefly about your art:As a painter my focus is on representing people. I try to do this in a way to focus on representing a diverse array of individuals.
