A BIT ABOUT ME

My name is Tira Medina, a School of Visual Arts alumni. I majored in Advertising/Graphic Design,

and minored in Education. I was born and raised within the Tri-State area, having worked on various art and design-related projects in my time here. ​

​

I am currently a freelance photographer, graphic designer, and set designer. My days consist of working full time in retail for the same company, for over 24 years now. I've held various roles including Human Resources, Management, and Security Receiving. Ready? Sip... Paint! has allowed me to put my passion for art into a creative outlet while also sharing what I know with whoever wants to learn. It allows me to stay connected to fine art and the community around me.

​

At home, I am a full time mother of three teenagers, two cats, and two dogs.
