Portrait of Tainara

Hi, I'm Tainara — a Brazilian artist who has called the United States home for the past 10 years.

Art has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a small town in Brazil, in a family that didn't have much, but drawing and creating were always a big part of my world. When I was 14, my artwork was chosen through a school-wide vote, giving me the opportunity to visit MASP in São Paulo — an experience that made my connection with art even stronger.

I have a background in Early Childhood Education and years spent surrounded by children, my love for art and kids naturally came together. Today, I specialize in murals for children's bedrooms, playrooms, playgrounds, and schools, while also creating custom paintings and pet portraits.

For me, art is more than paint on a wall or canvas. Every project starts with someone's idea, story, or memory, and I get to bring it to life.

My goal is simple: to create art that feels personal, brings joy, and turns spaces and memories into something you can keep forever.

What I Do

I create custom artwork designed around each client, their story, and their space.

From a small canvas or pet portrait to a full-room mural, every piece is created individually. I work across walls, wood, and canvas, using acrylic, watercolor, and oil paint depending on the project and the look we want to achieve.

My work includes children's murals, playrooms, schools and creative spaces, wall paintings, pet portraits, and personalized artwork.

No matter the size of the project, my goal is the same: to turn an idea into something personal, meaningful, and made specifically for you.

My Creative Process

  1. 01

    Your Idea

    It starts with you. I learn about your vision, the space, colors, inspiration, and the feeling you want the artwork to have.

  2. 02

    Sketch & Design

    I take those ideas to my iPad, where I sketch and digitally develop the concept. This is where your idea begins to take visual form.

  3. 03

    Review & Refine

    I share the design with you before anything is painted. Together, we review the concept and make adjustments until the artwork feels right for you.

  4. 04

    Measure & Visualize

    For murals and wall paintings, I measure the space and use digital tools and Meta Quest technology to visualize the artwork at scale and understand how the design will interact with the real environment.

  5. 05

    Time to Paint

    Once the design and placement are ready, painting begins. The digital concept moves from the screen to the wall, wood, or canvas — layer by layer and brushstroke by brushstroke.

    The Magic Comes to Life ✨

    The final details are added, the brushes come down, and what started as an idea becomes something real — created specifically for your space and your story.
