Tasha Pruitt

By working with other artists, Tasha is self-taught, along with drawing and basic print-making classes at Minneapolis Community and Technical College, in 2006. Tasha was born in St Paul, MN, and has lived and worked in Minneapolis, San Francisco, Greece, London, San Diego, and Costa Rica, among other locales. She is currently a working artist in Denver, CO, USA, and continues to show work in collective and solo art shows.  Before a life-changing spinal injury in 2011 and becoming a full-time artist (and part-time dog-sitter), Tasha had careers in the culinary and fashion worlds both in the USA and internationally.

Her practice is informed by painters, sculptors, storytellers, make-up artists, teachers, fashion designers, tattoo artists, chefs..to name a few. She uses those skills with honor and relishes continuing the learning process every day while passing along the knowledge absorbed.
