Artist statement: "Designing patterns is my pattern. It has been a fascination of mine for as long as I can remember. Starting each piece with pen and ink allows my hand to design with no expectations. I am not tracing, just observing. Colors are added digitally to transparently illuminate each element while maintaining complete attention on the individual designs. Each subject chosen has special relevance to my life and several of the patterns I've been using is connected to my past. Many are inspired by traditional Indian Henna designs, linked to my heritage, as well as an old hobby of mine. "Patterns...here, there, and EVERYwhere" is the best representation of how my mind, heart, and hands have always worked when analyzing situations and dealing with life. It is my enjoyment, my release, but also my despair. It is an illustration of the world I live in, my world of patterns."

This collection is titled after Tanya's non-profit organization, where she is using the realm of design as a form of release for survivors of domestic abuse and human trafficking. www.htEVERYwhere.com
