Hiya!

I am Tara, a forty-something-year-old artist living in Las Vegas, sharing my adventures with the world.

Las Vegas provides the ultimate playground. Everything is bigger and brighter here, so of course, the little artist in me is soaking it all in. From awesome restaurants to fun, immersive art exhibits to super cool DJ residencies … I love how creative this little big city is getting. I call this town "My Shiny Vegas" because it's always shining bright in my eyes, one way or another, and I’m excited for you to see this too!

More about me …

I'm a professional makeup artist (on hiatus) working as a digital creator in Las Vegas, NV.

I’m also a constant learner, so I am learning to sew and make crystal jewelry (I love working with stones that help us do things in life).

I love palm trees, warm weather, and hanging with friends. Traveling and exploring new places make me a happy camper. And if there’s a disco ball, dance floor, or awesome music (EDM) playing, I’ll be the one dancing!

Mommy to two beautiful babes - a mischievous, energetic sphynx named Teegan and a beautiful British Longhair named Talulah (her hair feels like mink!). They have fans all around the world, btw.

So take a tour, stay awhile - I promise it won't be boring!
