 Who is the author?       

          Teacher, author, speaker, therapist, cultural traveler, and life long learner, Tiara says, “I am a lover of art. As I experience more of life I experience more art, through dance, talking with others, painting, culture, nature, time with God, and more... I began drawing while in middle school and I would make my own books out of rubber bands staples and paper as a child. I would write the story and draw the picture myself. As I got older I kept my drawings and stories to myself.

         But I’ve always wanted to do something to help people and its taken place in varying ways such as obtaining a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree, volunteering at various organizations to work with vulnerable populations both locally and overseas, teaching and more. It wasn’t until within the past 8 years that I felt like I could begin to share my art and stories with others in this capacity.

        In my life I enjoy being outdoors in nature. I love working with kids and spending time with community in the form of family friends ect. I enjoy having conversations with others and talking about God or culture. And currently I am loving sharing my art in various forms with you, knowing that it may not be everyone’s cup of tea but hopefully everyone can enjoy it or will at least try out this new flavor in the form of art. I hope to inspire you to want to live and dream again, to want to enjoy life again and keep on living. It took me 27 years to truly consider the thought of calling myself an artist. But you don’t have to let it take you 27 years to do what you love and discover what you love. Through my art I hope to share with you my love for art in a form that allows you to love art again, the art of being you, because its truly beautiful.”
