Her work has been on display throughout the country - Washington DC, VA, and St. Louis MO. She is wife to PJ Short, who has encouraged her to pursue her dreams, and mother to two amazing children. She credits her battle with breast cancer in 2018 to giving her the courage and determination to become a tattoo artist.
