Tauni Alltop

I have called TN home since 2021 when my husband and I moved south of Nashville to be closer to our children and grandchildren. I’ve always had a passion for expressing my creative side, whether music, art or business, I love to take an idea and see it come to life.

Although I did not start painting until I was 41 years old, I have always been driven to express myself creatively. I first became interested in “Fine Art” as a pre-teen; however, it was not until later in life that I finally had the opportunity to pursue this interest and started taking oil painting classes with artists whose work I admire.

Through the years I have produced works of art that reflect my learning and development as an artist. I’ve been blessed to cross paths with many artists who inspire me to grow and strive for excellence in my work. I am in a constant state of learning! In more recent years, I have enjoyed exploring the freedom of fluid acrylic painting, although I still have a true passion for oil painting.

Today, I continue to nurture this passion through painting outdoors “en plein air” as I refine my skills and improve my use of shadow and light, color and brushwork. I am seeking to express in my work the beauty of all the Lord has created. I love being able to create art that brings joy to others. I’m excited to share this part of myself, and I will continue to tell my stories on canvas for all who desire to listen.
