Hello, welcome to my studio and shop.

In my fantasy world, you’d be able to step inside of this studio and have a coffee or tea with me, and we’d get to talking. Or we sit in silence, I work and you explore, stopping to look at paintings, or pieces of writing. Tell me some stories from your own life. Share with me what a painting reminds you of. Remember that you need to call your sister back.

This is fairly close to ideal, though, because this studio is one can visit from anywhere in the world and every e-mail I receive is a blessing. You can sit at a coffee shop and read my notes from early parenthood, maybe relate, maybe feel compelled to send me an e-mail and we give sighs and thanks for getting through our days.

I offer work in multiple price ranges; I believe in supporting art and I believe in the accessibility of art. Some work comes in free digital downloads. There are $20 pieces I create for my e-mail project, where I make a piece of work with my hands to send to you over e-mail. I have some pieces that are over a thousand dollars; if you’re in love, send me a message and we can make a payment plan. In 2026, may there be books! One of my projects is a book of essays on astrology, tarot, and dreamwork, and I’m making a companion tarot deck; another is an illustrated memoir about forever crushes on my friends and forever heartbreak from my family. In the studio, you can read a few vignettes from the memoir: When You Love Nothing, Love Steven.

I did a little bit of romanticizing myself, it follows below this letter.

I look forward to connecting with you.

Take care,

Tabatha (she/her)

Romantic writing :

I’m afraid of my own nonsense. Senescence. Regression. Queasy penchants. Growth. It’s why my mind can’t not look at it, the brutality of being alive. The gentleness, the dizzying strangeness. Look right into the darkness, then you’ll have an afterimage of the light. If your darkness is dark green, the afterimage will be red. And so forth.

Hello. I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The most beautiful place on Earth, just as beautiful as anywhere else you’ll find on this planet. I tend to pay attention to the way in which others pay attention, and when I’m not doing that, I’m looking at things awfully close-up and making a mental map of how everything folds back into the whole. The world is beautiful and terrible things happen and yet, we want to remain soft. Head over to the STUDIO to explore my series of abstract portraits, dig around inside your head and heart.

humans I deeply appreciate have said of my work:

"I love. . .the playful color, the openness, the nothingness, the beauty in the chaos, the strange paths and the what-ifs. The sense of going somewhere—don’t ask too many questions; you’ll see when we get there. And the overall sense of becoming. And then there’s the wonderfully weird shapes that make me want to contort into a good stretch." —C

“. . .there seems to be little concern for the outside world. You’re focused on the detail, the absurd of whatever you’re doing and nothing gets in the way of that.” —S

“. . .your paintings and drawings have an unusually sophisticated and refined sense of things, of your life, of this world, and you express it with self-made shapes and a reverence for open space and potent silence. Off-kilter composition, nested and hanging here and there.” —E

“Your art is like Penguin Cafe Orchestra, where there are deceptively simple motifs with meaning and emotion pulsed into them by dynamic and textural changes over time (over the course of one brush stroke or crayon line). This is intriguing to me because it asks me to pay attention, to take a moment and look, think, find the story.” —R
