Bio

Artist Tara Bullington was born in Littleville, Alabama before smartphones and social media were a thing.  She received her BFA in Painting and Sculpture from The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, then moved to the west coast.  She hung out in LA for a few years and painted every day while working some really fun jobs.  Eventually, she returned to the south to earn her MFA from Memphis College of Art. After grad school, Tara lived and worked in Florence, AL as a Studio Art professor at both the University of North Alabama and Northwest Shoals Community College for over 15 years.  She has now landed in Austin, TX and works from her home studio while teaching online Art Appreciation and Art History.
