Ninjagrl started painting her character in the streets of Chicago back in 2005. Her cat, Turtle, proved to be loyal companion and unending source of inspiration, and her time spent as a volunteer at the Seattle Aquarium opened her eyes to the wonders of the ocean world. She hopes to emulate the aquarium’s mission in her own, small way – to inspire conservation of our marine environment by providing glimpses of the amazing creatures that live there in her unique ninja style.
