Artist Bio
Tana was born in Texas and grew up in Austin. She has loved drawing and many forms of artistic expression, since she was a child. She grew up in a home filled with art. Her father collected art as a “hobby.” Therefore, she spent many an hour looking and studying the art that surrounded her.
Tana Walsh has a BFA in Interior Design from Texas Tech University, with a continuing education focus in the area of Art Therapy.
“I took my first painting class as part of my fine art degree requirements in college. I realized, at that time, how much I loved working with color and the medium itself. My life took a different path and I did not return to painting until 2005”.
As an artist, Tana works from an image she takes with her own camera, and or the still life that she creates. She has studied with Hugh Gibbons (Texas Tech University) and with Marian Dioguardi (Newton, MA). She is currently studying with Jason Polins (Somerville, MA.).
