What I Do

Hi, I'm Tina and I love making art. If it sounds like a confessional it kind of is. I spent years in corporate American and then I worked as a teacher, finally teaching art as the founder of Start 2 Art. All the time inching myself forward and practicing to be a painter. I hope that you will join me on my journey. Follow me on Instagram and Facebook at Tina Rawson Art! 

​

I have won many awards and been featured in Clover & Bee art publication, at solo and group exhibits, at the Newburyport Art Association, as a member of The Art Queens and Biafarin Worldwide group exhibitions. My pieces are in collections in the States and Sweden. 

​

Start 2 Art has taught children art since 2015. Now I use those skills to teach adults and host art parties and provide private instruction at The Start 2 Art Studio at 14 Cedar St #319B in Amesbury! Call me at 978-395-5567, it's so fun to make art and I love spreading the joy! Now teaching Swedish Folk Art too.

Original Art

To have a piece painted especially for you is the dream of many. I make customized art using my style and your direction. You pick the size, your colors, and inspiration. I paint a beloved place or person at the dimensions you require, just for you!

​

Or you can buy a piece of my art on Artwork Archive by hitting "purchase" or "inquire". There are lots of sizes, and something for every budget, in oil, acrylic and watercolors. I love to make art and I have a million ideas. Mainly I enjoy connecting with people and places, magic and memories through art.

Naples is a beloved place for this customer. Her mother had passed away and she wanted a memory of her and their "happy place" in her home. "Peaceful Palms", an acrylic painting now hangs in her house in Pittsburgh. She loves seeing it every day.

2. Once we've launched the project I will outline the parameters of the timing and costs based on your budget, and I will help you chose a reference photo.
