Meet Tegan: Mixed Media Artist & Educator

Hi, I'm Tegan the creator behind Untamed Mixed Media, and I'm so glad you're here!

Tegan, founder of Untamed Mixed Media

From Educator to Mixed Media Creator

For years, I believed I wasn't good at art. That all changed when I took an art journaling class that opened my eyes to a whole new world of creative possibilities. I realized I wasn't lacking talent—I just hadn't been taught by the right people. That class sparked something in me, and I haven't stopped creating since.

What started as art journaling has evolved into a passion for exploring different mediums and techniques. I discovered that art isn't about following strict rules—it's about letting your creativity flow and finding what speaks to you.

  • What I Create

    At Untamed Mixed Media, I work across a variety of mediums because I believe in letting inspiration guide the process. You'll find:

    • Custom Tumblers - Epoxied, rhinestone-embellished, or beautifully painted designs
    • Original Paintings - Created on paper and canvas using multiple mediums, supplies, and techniques
    • Handmade Accessories - Keychains, jewelry, and ornaments that make perfect gifts or personal treasures
    • Custom Designs - Bring your vision to life with personalized creations made just for you
  • What Makes My Work Unique

    I don't limit myself to just one medium or style. Depending on what speaks to me and what each piece calls for, I might use paint, epoxy, rhinestones, mixed media techniques, or a combination of them all. This variety means there's something for everyone, and each piece is truly one-of-a-kind.

    Every creation is made with intention, care, and a touch of the unexpected—just like the journey that brought me here.

  • A Little About Me

    When I'm not creating in my studio, I'm a teacher by day and a lifelong learner (yes, I'm a professional student!). I'm married with three grown boys who keep life interesting. I also live with a rare health condition, and I've found that the creative process gives me an outlet to express myself, find peace, and connect with others through art.

    Art has become more than a hobby—it's therapy, joy, and a way to share something beautiful with the world.
