Welcome to my studio.

Thank you so very much for visiting.

I am grateful that I get to share my art with you! It is such a large part of my life, and my hope is that my work might bring delight to people such as you. In this way, I consider my artwork not only as creations but also as services; I love doing art for people as much as I love the joy of creating. Because of this, commission work is a large part of what I do. On this site, you will also find my available works, portfolio, and more information about me and my services.

To an almost embarrassing extent, my range of artistic interests is wide. I enjoy watercolor and charcoal as my primary mediums, and I specialize in portraiture, equine art, landscapes, home scenes, pet portraits, and weddings. The common thread through my art is my yearning to paint memories, not just pictures. As such, I strive for a quality of elegance and timelessness in my art.

Thank you so very much for being here. Enjoy your visit,

Tehya Vassar

"Tehya recreated a very special photo for this watercolor. I had a few requests that were incorporated (removing some background items from the original), and the piece was painted beautifully. She communicated her progress on the work, and it turned out wonderful. We love this painting; it will make a special gift!"

Here is a little window into the services I provide as an artist.

My original work and print reproductions are for sale. If something touches you, it is yours. I hope my art adds a measure of extra joy to your home and life.

See into the Process

When I work with clients on commissioned work, I treat it as a friendship. I understand that asking for a commission takes trust. It is very important to me to involve you in the creative process, so I will regularly send you updates (photos and videos, if you wish) as my artwork for you develops. I hope you enjoy it!
