Mental health advocate & free-time artist, these are my creations!

I've doodled for as long as I can remember. I drew through grade school and even went to college for Graphic Design. While I couldn't commit to the core classes and ended up dropping out, I become a freelance hair stylist for around 3 years. I did runway, weddings and even worked for a high-end salon. I eventually left this career I found it was too much mentally and physically.

Years later I was missing my creative outlet, so I picked up a paintbrush again! I discovered Twitch in 2015 and started live streaming abstract watercolor pieces after my 9-5 job. Eventually, I bought an iPad Pro and fell in love with the medium.

In 2018 I opened an Etsy store selling stickers and "Neural Ink" was born! I changed my name in 2022 to 
"Fig and Mortis" which I liked a TON more! In 2023 I expanded and started selling at local markets which I think is my favorite way to share my art with people.

Over the years, my personal style continues to evolve and I will always find inspiration in tattoos (mostly kewpies, hehe) vintage posters, critters, and comic books! My art has and will always be an expression of the highs and lows of the human experience... also I just wanna make you smile. :)
