ABOUT

My name is Paige Short, a graduate from the UGA Lamar Dodd School of Art  with a BFA concentration in drawing. and a tattoo artist at Secret Garden Tattoos in Johns Creek, GA.

Much of my work seeks to depict subjects in a dreamlike manner surrounded by decorative representations of natural aspects largely to portray surreal, supernatural beings, or personify symbolism, concepts or other nonhuman objects in a way that brings them to life as a human form. Often, I use natural and floral imagery as a way to adorn the illustrations for aesthetic purpose, while also utilizing the meanings that these details hold to further add to the overall mood of each piece. By drawing these portraits in such a way, the viewer is drawn in and captivated by the individual, wanting to know their story.

​

Like my art, my tattoos designs are also in that same area of floral and environmental work, as well as things that are mystical, fantastical, and sometimes a little bit spooky.
