For years murals played an important role in the evolution of Tia’s art and became a cornerstone of her artistic history.  It was through painting murals that she discovered a true passion for creating another world for someone - especially children.  She loved nothing more than the moment a child entered the newly- transformed room for the first time and was instantly transported to a place inspired by their own imagination.  Tia now pours that passion into children’s books where she can create such a reaction in a way that reaches a much larger audience.
