Welcome to my creative garden. I’m Tarra Lu. I’m an artist living in the Dominican Republic, building a creative life that’s slower, more intentional, and actually sustainable. This channel is where I talk honestly about making art, having many interests, and learning how to live without burning myself out in the process. I share what I’m noticing in my own life, what I’m unlearning, and what helps creatives feel less scattered and more grounded. If you’re an artist or multi-passionate creative who wants more ease, clarity, and a way of working that lasts, you’re in the right place. 🎨 Artwork: www.tarralu.com 📝 Writing: tarralu.substack.com 📧 Connect: [email protected]
