For over five years, NorCal-based multi-medium artist Tatum Steel has developed her sense of style and self through her creative pursuits. Initially a hobby artist, Tatum continues to hone her skills and pursue professional avenues, including a bachelor’s degree in fine art. She is known for her still-life and portrait work, which is imbued with an impressionist and loose quality that balances classic realism and modern expressionism.

Tatum’s work explores the complexities of the human experience, no matter how mundane they may appear on the surface. Creating brings her a sense of tranquility and joy, and she hopes her pieces will inspire others to feel the same.
