is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, textiles, sculpture, and design. Based between Mexico and the United States, Tanya’s life across borders—between coastal Baja, the highlands of central Mexico, and the northern landscapes of the U.S.—continues to shape the emotional and material dimensions of her work.
She holds a BA in Product Design from the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara and also studied at the Escuela de Bellas Artes in San Miguel de Allende. Considered one of the first artists of the Baja Art Movement, Tanya’s work engages with the legacy of colonialism in Mexico, exploring themes of mestizaje, identity, caste systems, and cultural hybridity. Through visual narratives that often combine contemporary materials with historical references, her pieces reframe traditional narratives and challenge inherited structures of race and power.
Her early career took her to Arizona, where she attended the Scottsdale Artist League School and opened PALIA URBAN HACIENDA, a concept store on Marshall Way, the city’s main art corridor. During this time, she began integrating interior design with her artistic practice—most notably producing furniture, artwork, and accessories for the Four Seasons Scottsdale remodel.
Tanya is the founder of Studio TT Art School & Gallery, the first formal art school in Los Cabos. She has since established multiple studios and ateliers across the region, including at the One & Only Palmilla Resort, the San José Art District, and Villa Valentina. She is proudly represented by Pez Gordo Gallery.
Her contribution to the Baja California arts community extends far beyond her own artistic output. Tanya is recognized for her dedication to nurturing emerging talent, curating public exhibitions, and supporting fellow artists through mentorship and representation.
She is currently pursuing a low-residency MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, deepening her conceptual practice and expanding her engagement with contemporary discourse. Her life between Mexico and the U.S. continues to influence her evolving body of work, which often navigates themes of duality, identity, and the afterlives of colonial history.
