“Now, when folks ask what I do, I keep it real: "I make stuff.”

Pencil, ink, paint, clay, wood, polymers, leather... well, everything except thread - I'm terrible with thread. Don't even get me started on scissors. Funny that - I can handle chisels and knives like nobody's business, but give me scissors and I'll cut myself, guaranteed.

I'm Tamra Howell, the woman behind the curtain, as it were - the artistic maestro behind the scenes, mixing media like a boss. Since forever, I've been driven to create. Drawing, painting, sculpting, you name it—I've dipped my toes in 'em all.

Originally repping Macon, Georgia, I've bounced around the block, soaking up inspiration from every corner of the country. Now I'm holding it down in Lee County, where my home studio serves as the creative hub.

My academic journey? A wild ride through English Lit and Theatre. And guess what? They're still my muse. From ancient myths to the wisdom of my ancestors, I draw inspiration from every corner of the world.

Now, let's talk art. My pieces? They're a nod to life's impermanence, a celebration of the past, and a tribute to the creatures of lore. Myth? It's our guide through life's ups and downs, helping us navigate the chaos with grace.

And my process? It's all about embracing imperfection. There's beauty in the imperfect, in the human touch that brings my creations to life. There’s something beautiful about doing things by hand, something celebrating the very imperfect human experience that’s actually human-made, you know?

I'm all about that sweet, sweet balance. From harmonious aesthetics to achieving the perfect equilibrium in my work, I'm on a quest for zen vibes. Sure, sometimes I stumble, but that's all part of the journey. Imperfection? It's the spice of life, my friend. And amidst the chaos, I'll keep chasing that elusive balance, one piece at a time.

Now, when folks ask what I do, I keep it real: "I make stuff." Yeah, it might sound basic, but hey, it's the truth. Everybody has their own thing, it is what it is - I, for instance, am terrible at math. So, I make things, you solve equations - same difference, it’s all relative. We’ve all got our groove, right? Some rock the numbers game, others like me, we rock the art scene.

From geeking out over gaming to crafting captivating illustrations, I'm all about blending the real with the unreal. Whether it's bringing everyday moments to life or conjuring fantastical realms, I'm here to try and make magic happen.

These days, you can catch my creations right here or on the interwebs, flying the flags of "Olensdottir" or "Howl Art Studio." I'm not always open for collabs or custom gigs, but hey, it never hurts to shoot your shot if you've got something special in mind. Slide into my DMs anytime—I'm all ears for a killer convo.
