Artistic Vision

Telling stories. Allowing emotions to wash over us. Giving voice to the full range of the human experience —happiness, sadness, injustice and joy. Echoing the cries of our hearts and the fierceness in our souls.

Emotions should be experienced in their full color—owned and not stuffed under the bed like a dirty secret.

Mirroring, experiencing and expressing life through the physicality of color, line and light reflecting off textured surfaces.

Takara Welter has been creating art for as long as she can remember. Growing up across the Middle East, Asia, Northern Europe, the Pacific, and the U.S., her surroundings were constantly shifting, and so was the way she saw them. At twelve, she made it official, walking into her family’s living room and declaring that she would be an artist full time. That moment crystallized what had always been true—art was never just a hobby, but the lens through which she processed movement, culture, and change.

Her work today is mixed media surrealism, a vivid collision of color and imagination that reflects the in-between spaces she has always lived in. Each piece is saturated, dreamlike, and alive with unexpected juxtapositions—familiar yet strange, vibrant yet unsettling. The surrealism in her art is not an escape from reality, but an echo of it; after a lifetime of transitions, the world has always felt just a little surreal. Her work captures that tension, giving form to the vivid intensity of living everywhere—and belonging nowhere.
