Manwei spent two years honing her craft at the Art Students League while earning her degree at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Seeking a deeper understanding of classical techniques, she continued her studies at Grand Central Atelier, where she refined her approach to realism and composition.

At the end of 2023, she shifted her focus to tattooing, bringing her extensive artistic background to this new medium. Her work is deeply influenced by classical art and driven by a dedication to precision. Now, she merges tradition with modern expression, creating tattoos that are both timeless and personal.
