Libby retired from Nursing after a 15 year career to pursue her passion for all things Art and Tattoo. She has been drawing, painting and creating nifty pieces of art since she was a wee child. She grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania in a tiny rural Mining community. Her mother was also an artist and a sign painter and she believes that is where her love of art and creativity was derived. As a youngster she would roam the rolling pastures, creeks and hills sketching whatever caught her interest. It was and always has been an escape for her to get lost in her own little creative world. She never dreamed that she would one day grow up and be able to permanently draw on people for a living.
 

It’s humbling, exhilarating and gratifying all at the same time. Libby’s previous career as a nurse (the last 5 years of which were spent in the ER/Triage at Wake Med’s New Bern Campus) has been extremely advantageous to her current career. Because of her background Libby is well versed in cross contamination, blood borne pathogens, sterility of equipment, recognizing client’s adverse physical reactions and more.
