I’m Tiara McKnight, a mixed-media artist, storyteller, wife, and mom of six. For more than a decade, art has been one of the ways I make sense of life, identity, growth, and the beauty of becoming. My work is known for bold color, texture, stitching, and repurposed materials, but underneath all of that is always a story.

Over the years, my artwork has found its way into homes and collections across the country and around the world, and that connection has always meant more to me than simply making a sale. There is something incredibly special about creating a piece from my own experiences and watching someone else see their story in it.

After a season of change, motherhood, moving back to Connecticut, and opening a creative studio with my sister, I’m returning to my personal art practice with more life behind me and even more to say. This next chapter of Art by Tee is about creating freely, telling meaningful stories, and making work that invites you to feel, reflect, and see a little bit of yourself within it.
