About Tani

Artist, writer, outdoors wanderer. More and more I consider myself a place-based artist. Exploring my everyday environment, noticing and making art about it is my oxygen.

I use visual art and writing are used to explore and communicate ideas at the intersections of nature, mindfulness, connection, and aging.

With an enduring passion for watercolor since 1998, my work has since expanded to include ink and acrylics. My process includes an affinity for optical color mixing, using hues in a way that the viewer’s eye is able to see colors not present in the pigments used.

While my creative practice is rooted in quiet and solitude, it is also fueled relationship, neighborhood, and community. With years of experience facilitating workshops, I find deep satisfaction in leading fun and no-stress learning experiences that nurture self-discovery and creativity.
