Acrylic
Tina’s lifelong love affair with art has been a constant comfort and source of joy, ranging from working in makeup artistry to painting, collage, and experimenting in mixed media. Tina has a great passion for color and the transformative beauty of art.
She works with acrylics, alcohol inks, resin, and more! Tina studied art at Truckee Meadows Community College and has attended various art studies both in Reno and in her hometown of Honolulu, Hawaii. Tina has lived in Reno, Nevada, for over 25 years and loves the area. She is also a caregiver to her quadriplegic husband.
Tina worked as the Studio and Gallery Manager at Makers Paradise in the Reno Public Market, enjoying the role of leadership and gallery curator. In February 2024, she and Dana Nollsch started a podcast called Creatives Talk Podcast, where they interview creatives in and around the Reno, Nevada, area.
Tina enjoys helping the community, spending time with family, making art, watching Netflix, and eating sushi! You can find her on social media @tinasartlife.
