Artist bio

From designer to artist

Tabitha earned her BFA in Design from The College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY, and embarked on a design career in the fast-paced world of NYC. After five exhausting and disheartening years in advertising, Tabitha realized it was time for a change. She sought tranquility and moved to the Pacific Northwest with her husband and their tiny dog, Cashew. Surrounded by the calm of her new environment, Tabitha rediscovered her passion for art and reconnected with her creative practice.

Expressive. Intuitive. Dramatic.

Tabitha's creative process is intuitive and dynamic, marked by bold color, texture, and form exploration. Tabitha uses layers and textures to build each piece through expressive movement and thoughtful experimentation. Her design background and interest in color theory guide her choice of unexpected color combinations, while thick, tactile paint applications create a multi-dimensional appearance. Her unique style is both emotionally raw and visually striking.

Head in the clouds, feet on the ground

Deeply influenced by psychology, Tabitha explores the intricate interplay between human perception and lived experience. Her art centers on dramatic personal memories, depicting calming nature scenes to demanding work environments. Her intent is to release embedded emotions and invite contemplation of the layers of perception that shape our unique experiences.

Environmentally conscientious art

Eliminating waste and upcycling are at the top of Tabitha's mind. She frequents local thrift shops for frames to refurbish and other lightly used art supplies to incorporate into her work. Additionally, she seeks creative ways to transform her paper scraps, imperfect prints, and palettes into her collage pieces and packaging.
