Hello, I am Fox and currently doing my best to get out of my own way and open myself to the teachings of our more than human relatives, seen and unseen. I learn a great many things from relationships as I practice weaving my animist world view into each aspect of life including my craft of tattoo.
I fill my waking hours with:
- Reading and listening to books, stories and myths
- Watching the movements of cats, birds, trees and wind while listening to their voices
- Tracking the sun, moon and planets, and noticing their impact on me/us
- Practicing cooking ‘good’ food
- Martial arts
These interests feed my creative works which vary and usually include drawing, painting and writing.
My visual aesthetic is one in constant flow and development which shifts along with whatever my current inspirations are. I have spent much energy seeking a recognizable ‘style’. I am now more focused on allowing my teachings outside of tattooing to steer the creative process of my work.
I have a deep love and reverence for the craft of tattoo and am striving to balance the seriousness and maturity of the act with playfulness and curiosity. I am grateful to have been tattooing since 2013 and have learned so much from those I have worked beside and all those I have made tattoos on; thank you to you all
