I
was born and raised in Minnesota and I
make a mean Tater-Tot Hotdish. For the
past 20 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, rainy
days, art, cooking, of course my family and
friends and did I mention shoe shopping?
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.....
