Fresh Cover Up!

Check out this fresh Cover Up by Awen! Cover ups are one of my favorite styles to work with – from an artistic perspective they’re technical and challenging… and from a heart/mind/spirit perspective, there’s nothing like seeing the smile on a clients face when the feel the freedom of a fresh beginning. Send me an inquiry if you’re interested in a cover up!

Studio Update

In light of recent updates from the MN Department of Health and City of Minneapolis, we’ve made the tough decision to proactively close the studio from 3/17 to 4/5.

Our three priorities are – and will always be – creating fantastic art, stewarding a welcoming environment and prioritizing strict health protocols. This is tough decision for two independent artists – and – we’re committed to prioritizing the health and safety of our community as a whole and to doing our part to slow, and prevent, transmission of the virus.

If you have an appointment during this time and haven’t heard from your artist – check your email.

In the meantime, thank you for your patience, understanding and support during this difficult time. We wish you and your loved ones health and peace of heart and mind.

Minnesota Tattoo

TBT! This piece packs a lot of personal meaning for the wearer -and – one aspect resonates with many of us this week as Paisley Park celebrates the 32nd anniversary of its grand opening. Prince was and continues to be a creative and personal inspiration. He created Paisley Park as a place intended for everyone, where the ceiling was painted as the sky to remind us there are no limits. “Paisley Park is in our hearts.”
