About Tanisha
I’m Tanisha, an artist and teacher based in Dallas, Texas, originally from Illinois. For a big part of my life, I tried to please everyone else. A few years ago, God walked me into a season of healing and self-love, and I realized I was even creating art for other people’s approval instead of from my own heart.
These days, I am committed to making art that feels like me. I started with jewelry, moved into abstract acrylic painting, then found out I was allergic to acrylic. That detour led me to urban sketching and mixed-media art, and now I work mostly with watercolor, gouache, and a mix of other fun supplies. My goal with every piece is simple, to remind you that you are free to be exactly who God created you to be. I'm currently finding the joy in sketching my everyday moments and sharing the stories behind them.
Before I ever fully stepped into calling myself an artist, I spent many years exploring creativity through tech, websites, and different small business adventures. All of those experiences shaped how I see creativity, purpose, and what it means to build a life that feels honest and meaningful.
If you love art, storytelling, faith, and honest conversations about the creative journey, you are in the right place. I would love to stay connected. My hope is that through my art and my stories, you feel encouraged to create, to be yourself, and to live freely in who God created you to be.
