Tina - The Blue Petra

Author name: Tina

Tina was born and raised in Central Florida and is now living in a small cabin in Silver Springs, Florida on the edge of the Ocala National Forest with her husband (who is also an artist in his own right). She makes sure to take her DSLR with her when she goes flat boating or hiking and when she takes road trips to capture memorable Florida moments for painting inspiration. She offers her Florida photography (all of it and she posts weekly) to anyone that becomes a member on her Patreon page. Her original artwork as well as prints and other merch can be purchased at https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tina-burris/shop as well as https://bluepetra.net (but please know that Bluepetra is undergoing a redesign - we hope to be up and running again soon with products such as hand painted hats and handmade bags for purchase.) She's had a creative streak as far back as she can remember, whether it be painting, sewing, or music, but she decided to go all in during her 40s when she began to further develop her painting skills seeking out a way to make a humble living as an artist. She also returned to school at the age of 53 to achieve her BFA in Graphic Design, allowing her to have one foot in traditional art and one foot in the digital world, although her true love will always be the art of traditional painting.
