Portfolio

A growing collection spanning from 2017 onwards, including a variety of artistic mediums from digital art to tattooing!
I have a passion for a broad assortment of subjects, including but not limited to creatures, fan art, fantasy, furries, and nature! ❤︎

Traditional Art

I've been drawing for as long as I can remember (about 26 years!); I began taking art more seriously back in 2017, when I decided that I wanted to pursue a career as a tattoo artist.
I started out working with watercolours and brush pens, trying to figure out what kind of art I wanted to put out into the world, while also focusing on developing a unique style of my own. Nowadays I enjoy a wide variety of traditional mediums, choosing to work with what feels right when beginning a new project.

Hand Sewn Creations

I've been making plush creatures and the like since 2020, but have been sewing for much longer; I was taught how to hand sew in daycare at 5 years old, and have been experimenting with fabric and thread ever since.

Tattoos

Tattoos are something I've always been inspired by and have been around since a young age; my love for tattooing really took off in mid 2017 when I was given an opportunity to tattoo seriously via an apprenticeship. I apprenticed until late 2018, gaining my education at an old school shop in a unique village in southern BC; I left the shop shortly after reaching Jr. Artist status as a result of multiple factors.
I find tattooing very therapeutic, especially after gaining much of my apprentice experience by tattooing myself. I'm grateful for getting to begin my tattooing journey and look forward to continuing it someday!

Digital Art

Digital art was one of the artistic mediums I found myself struggling with the most; I tried my hand at it back in middle school and found myself quickly discouraged. It was much different than the traditional mediums I grew to find comfort in, and I gave up. Despite this I continued wanting to learn how to create art digitally, and once I got my hands on my own iPad in late 2019 I couldn't be stopped!

About the Artist

A welcoming place for all creatures alike, LevityGhosts is a neuroqueer endeavour dedicated to creating an empathetic and honest environment. Through bold and colourful imagery I strive to help the obscure souls of the world feel heard; by openly sharing my thoughts and valued sentiments, I hope to spark long overdue conversations regarding intersectionality (coined in 1989 by Kimberlé Crenshaw, a pioneering scholar and writer on civil rights, critical race theory, Black feminist legal theory, and race, racism and the law.)

Initially born from a desire to process complex emotions, LevityGhosts is an amalgamation of my fear and coping strategy. Until recent years I was terrified of ghosts, and dealing with this fear was easiest through a bit of levity. “I know you love to scare me but cut it out!”- I’d say aloud jokingly. I also found myself wanting to challenge my fear head on; I began to incorporate ghosts into my creations, often depicting them in a cute or silly manner. Levity is also how I've dealt with many of the struggles in my life, wrapping myself in it to defend myself from the bitterness of an abusive household. It was my companion oftentimes, keeping me going on the darkest days.LevityGhosts was created to communicate my deepest truths, but it is also a journey to find & foster a supportive community of likeminded folks.LevityGhosts Studio is located on Treaty 4 Land, the lands of the Cree, Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ , Niitsítpiis-stahkoii ᖹᐟᒧᐧᐨᑯᐧ ᓴᐦᖾᐟ (Blackfoot / Niitsítapi ᖹᐟᒧᐧᒣᑯ) , Michif Piyii (Métis) , and the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ.

Mutual Aid + Donations

Mutual aid is something I’ve come to recognize is largely important; I’ve donated to and continue to donate to some organizations, but I also strongly feel and recognize that there are folks out there who do not have the means to access these resources (in addition to these organizations not always being reliable/trustworthy).I want to do what I can to directly aid these folks, and when I can I will be donating a portion of my earnings from sales made to mutual aid.I also value transparency, and have created this page to maintain that, as well as hopefully inspire fellow white settlers to follow suit in partaking in mutual aid!Every little bit helps, and creating community by showing up for others in ways you can will always matter! ❤︎
