Tabatha serves as President of the Nevada Artists Association to fulfill a deeply personal promise. After returning to Carson City to help care for her late grandmother (who founded the music club at the Brewery Arts Center) Tabatha was asked to carry on her grandmother’s legacy of giving back to the local arts community.

A Carson City native, Tabatha spent 20 years abroad cultivating a versatile career as a fine artist across all mediums. She built a classical foundation at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France and the Studio Arts College International in Florence, Italy, and later earned her Master’s in 3D Animation from Supinfocom in Arles, France. This extensive education paved the way for a global career as an art director and concept artist in film and themed entertainment. Her portfolio includes work with ILM London on the Star Wars franchise, exhibition design for major institutions like the National WWII Museum and the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, live entertainment visuals for the Las Vegas Sphere and the KISS farewell tour, and working as an illustrator for a special division of Mercedes-Benz. Today, executing her design work remotely, Tabatha proudly brings her international arts experience back home to lead and inspire Nevada’s visual arts community.
