About
Moon Petal Arts is a home based art studio enveloped in the enchanting landscape of the Pacific Northwest, at the end of a road, amongst a small grove of redwoods, flowering trees, and a new Moon Garden. We are grateful, every day, to be here.
Rooted in nature.
Trees whisper.
Flowers bloom.
Ethereal forms.
Quiet beauty.
My art is an exploration into the majesty of trees and ethereal beauty of flowers, drawing from the questions found in the spaces in between.
While growing up in Alaska, Tai was chosen for an advanced drawing class focusing on Line and Perspective.
As a student in Colorado, the kind, adventurous and supportive Art Teachers selected her to attend the Grand Lakes Art Camp for two consecutive summers.
After graduating from university with two art degrees and a minor, she continued to practice across mediums like ceramics, paper, painting, alcohol painting, stained glass, and textiles.
With 35 years ceramic experience, clay has been a true love. Clay provides endless possibilities. Just like life! Anything could happen and dreams do come true.
