I
was born and raised in Minnesota and I make a
mean Tater-Tot Hotdish. For the past 18 years,
I have called Colorado home. I live here
with my husband and our 2 daughters, one human and one canine.
We try to love them equally, although if the dog could talk, she
would probably argue that point.
I
love my jobs...Artist and Mommy. They are equally
as challenging and equally as rewarding. The only
thing better than having a job you love, is having two jobs
that you love!
I
studied art at the Minneapolis College of Art and
Design and The Art Institute of Colorado. Then
I waitressed and bartended for 6 years. Just enough
time to learn how to snowboard, meet some good
friends, travel the world and fall in love with
my husband. I love the smell of rain and the smell
of fire, the feel of my daughter's hand in mine,
laughing, yoga, shoe shopping, 80's movies, dive
bars, beach vacations, a good glass of white wine,
shoe shopping, chocolate, Gerber Daisies, Elmo,
shoe shopping, rainy days, art, cooking, and of
course my family and friends.
I
can't say that Tasha Rae Designs really has a "Mission
Statement" because each 'mission' is different.
Every day is a new day and things are forever changing.
I guess my business philosophy is something like
this: You know that feeling you get when you find
the perfect gift for someone and you can't
wait to give it to them? That's how I try to run
my business. My gift is my art, and I want it to
be just what you wanted and imagined. If I can
do that, then mission accomplished.
Anyway....enough
about me.....
