About the Artist

I was born and raised in Minnesota and I make a mean Tater-Tot Hotdish. For the past 17 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 do 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, 80's movies, dive bars, beach vacations, a good glass of white wine, shoe shopping, chocolate, Gerber Daisies, Elmo, 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.....
