Tara Reed is a watercolorist who designs fabric and a teacher with a knack for breaking things down in a way that is both fun and attainable for all levels.
She is passionate about helping people connect with the world around them through sewing.
I am a lifelong creative with a love of inspiring others to make, explore, and dream. I have been designing art for products since 2004.
From the sweep of a paintbrush to the hum of a sewing machine, I create art that helps people express their personality and add touches of joy to their everyday life.
