Glad to be a part of Art Battle on March 26th in Toronto. I'm super excited to showcase my talent and entertain you all at the same time! Let's all have blast!!!!

Be the light of my darkness so I can paint that magical time with a creative rush. You will be our inspiration.

Tanya loves working with other artists. She paints, draws and makes videos but will try any kind of making. Tanya co-founded an eco-art collective about 6 years ago, called Works-in-Progress where they all have their own practices, but they gather to host clothing swaps and make things from waste (mostly textiles).

This collective and an online life drawing group in Scotland kept me sane and connected to art makers and community during the pandemic and beyond; I have been drawing more than painting lately but I am now pretty good at drawing naked people and darning socks.
