Meet the Artist

Hi, I’m Tanya Smith-artist, photographer, and the creative behind this evolving art studio.

I’ve been creating art in one form or another for over 30 years, with the real passion starting in high school when a teacher showed me that the process mattered more than the outcome.

But when life got busy with motherhood, then with running a full time photography business, and all the things, painting and creating got pushed aside.

After some big life changes, I found myself slowing coming back to my creative roots. I started painting again. Slowly, quietly. No big plan. Just the pull to create. It felt grounding in a way I hadn’t realized I’d missed.

Now, this studio is where everything comes together: mixed media, layers of texture, color and instinct.

Each piece is created to help you add character and soul to your space, or to your creative process. Whether it ends up hanging on a wall, tucked into a cozy shelf, or layered into your journal pages, these aren’t just decorations or supplies; they’re little moments of creative energy made to be seen, felt and explored.

I don’t believe art needs to be overly deep or complicated to matter. I just hope these pieces make you to take a second glance- to pause, even for a moment, and enjoy a bit of beauty.

Thanks for stopping by and supporting original art from a real human.
