Tami Grant

Artist Statement

The uniqueness and beauty of an individual feather is detailed in Tami Grant’s collaborations of multi-media artwork design. Her natural creativity, partnered with an appreciation for “nature”, exemplify her free spirit, fascination of creatures and love for all types of art. Tami grew up in the small farming community of Walla Walla, Washington. She spent much of her childhood hiking, hunting, fishing, camping, and caring for a wide variety of family pets, many of which were gathered (chipmunks, magpies, turtles, frogs etc.) in the nearby foothills of the Blue Mountains. Drawing as a child was always a happy place for her to escape to.

In 2020, after a successful family turkey hunting trip, she was creatively inspired to combine her talents of carving, drawing, and painting, with a real element of nature, “a feather”. Each of her unique piece’s center around a hand carved feather which she has transformed into a hyper-realistic work of art. Tami loves the challenge of transforming a feather into a new shape or object and gets excites as she watches it come to life.
