About ME

Dianna is currently a K-12 educator at a local charter and  tattoo artist at Caked Glam Co., bringing a rich background in the arts to her educating style as well as her tattoo practice. Over the years, she has worked as a framer, studio artist, curator, gallery manager, and visual merchandiser. Each role has helped shape her creative perspective and technical skill. She holds a BFA in 2D Fine Arts, an MA in Art and Visual Culture Education, and she is currently finishing her PhD in Mexican American Studies where her research focuses on Chicano Art and Chicanafuturism.

 

She has been exploring tattoo design and technique over the past year and is excited to continue developing her craft at Caked! Her style draws from a broad range of classic art history motifs such as filigree and gothic aesthetics- to surreal and dreamlike imagery. Beyond the studio she is an avid collector of perfumes and dabbles in perfume making, finding inspiration in the artistry of scent as much as in visual design.

 

At Caked, her goal is to create tattoos that are not only beautiful but meaningful to each client. She offers both custom designs and a collection of ready-to-go flash for clients looking for something personal or spontaneous. She would love to collaborate with you!

 

As an educator, her goal is to implement Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) strategies to each student at their individual level.
