Kat began her career as an elementary art teacher in Charlotte, NC, where she grew up and first discovered her passion for creative education. After moving to Bend, she shifted into food and garden education, teaching in Redmond for the past two school years. Over time, she found herself drawn to tattooing for the same reasons she loved teaching—its blend of art and creativity, community, and meaningful personal connection.
Inspired by the intersection of art, nature, and personal expression, she is excited to create more tattoos influenced by botanicals and nostalgic collections. When she’s not tattooing, Kat can be found trail running, snowboarding, or teaching ceramics.
