Hey Hi! I'm Tanya

I'm an artist and photographer based in Niagara Ontario Canada.

My work is made for the person who loves spending time in their space. The one who hosts the dinner parties and family events. The one who wants their home to feel warm, welcoming and lived-in rather than staged.

I’m drawn to materials and places that show the marks of time, old cloth, found objects, abandoned places, weathered surfaces, and quiet landscapes.

Sometimes I use my camera to capture a place and time. Sometimes my work is more tactile, hand stitching fabric into textured art pieces.

Before returning to fine art, I spent over 15 years running a full time portrait photography studio, which still influences my eye and composition in my art.

Art can change the entire vibe and feel of a room.

I hope my art helps you see something beautiful in what has been worn, weathered or overlooked.

Random Facts about me:

  • I love all kinds of music but if I'm picking it's 80's rock

  • My bookshelf and movie list is mostly horror

  • My margaritas are legendary- I used to be a bartender (funnest. job. ever)

  • I own an unreasonable amount of black boots

  • Fall is my most favorite time of year
