About Me
From the hair industry, to tattooing, and back to my first love — portrait art. My career has always been rooted in creativity and connection. I specialize in detailed, heartfelt artwork that preserves your most precious memories to last a lifetime.
Hi! My name is Madison — I’m a self-taught artist based in Washington State, and I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. Portrait work has been part of my life for over 10 years, but like many artists, it took time, support, and the right season of life to fully step into it. For years I balanced multiple jobs while creating art whenever I could, always knowing that one day I wanted to make this my full-time focus.
Over time, my love for drawing naturally expanded into tattooing — under a couple different mentorships, I’ve now been tattooing in the Seattle area for about two years. Tattooing has become another meaningful extension of my art — blending my background in the beauty industry and client connection with the detailed, intentional work I’ve always loved. Before this chapter, I spent 7–8 years as a hair stylist, starting right out of high school. That experience taught me so much about creativity, trust, and working closely with people, but I always felt pulled toward creating art in a more permanent and personal way. I’m incredibly grateful to now be settled into a career I’ve envisioned for nearly a decade.
There’s nothing more rewarding to me than handing a client their finished portrait and knowing I’m also giving them something deeply personal — a piece of nostalgia and connection they’ll be able to hold onto forever. I love portrait work because it allows me to capture the essence of the ones you love most: their expression, their personality, and the small details that make them uniquely them. My goal with every piece is to preserve their spirit in a way that feels timeless.
I work across a variety of different canvases including archival paper, drafting film, and birch wood panels, using professional-grade graphite and colored pencils to create highly detailed, heirloom-quality portraits. While I specialize in pet portraiture, I also love drawing people and meaningful subjects of all kinds. Each piece is created with care, intention, and the hope that it will become something you treasure for years to come.
​
I'm so thankful for every single one of you that has trusted me with your special moments over the years, I am truly blessed to have the support that's enabled me to turn my passion into a career!
