About Tami Curtis-Ellis

Most of Tami's work is based on the rich history, music, culture and nature of Louisiana that she has spent a lifetime learning and loving. Represented in galleries across Southern Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Illinois, and Alabama, her work is now owned by patrons from New York to California.

"All the time, energy and inspiration in my artwork are blessings from God. Art itself is a mirror of God's gifts of family, friends, nature and culture. I thank Him for this journey and joyously give him the credit for what I create." – Tami

A native of Louisiana, Tami attended Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, LA where she received her BA in art education and a BFA in graphic design.
