Mural project for H-E-B South Congress

Hey, y’all! I’m Tara.

I’m the lady behind all the work you see here, and I’ve been making art in some form for as long as I can remember. I live just outside of Austin and spend my days doing what I love most. Every day feels like a dream, and I’m endlessly grateful for it.

I earned my BFA in Interior Design from the University of North Texas in 2010, and that foundation still shapes the way I approach every project. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to collaborate with clients across many industries and have found my sweet spot in botanical murals and pattern design—two art forms that challenge me, excite me, and keep me coming back for more.

Whether I’m painting a massive wall or designing a new pattern collection, my work is driven by curiosity, color, and a love of nature. I’m happiest when I’m deep in the flow of creating, exploring new ideas, and finding beauty in the details. I value creative freedom, thoughtful collaboration, and making work that feels joyful and genuine. Most days, you can find me in my home studio with a cup of coffee, a pencil in hand, and my curious cat, Murphy, keeping a close eye on the action.
