We take time to grow and figure it all out. The brain is still developing, love is still learning, and position is not concrete. “He is still playing pretend. Stealthy and jovial, no crime committed.” He’s still figuring it out.
Breasts are be celebrated, not sexualized, criticized, or ostracized. They are a part of the journey from developing in adolescence, nourishing precious babies, and sometimes vanishing due to medical reasons. “No matter your size or circumstances, celebrate your Boobie journey.”

The Tucson Gallery Asked Each Artist The Same Questions To Get To Know Them Better
Where did you grow up?
I grew up hard and I grew up fast in the vast desert of Tucson, AZ! I went to Palo Verde High School and graduated cum laude from the U of A.
Tell us about your family
I’m an only child and my parents got divorced when I was 8. I stayed with my dad, who is awesome, and supported my art career without waver. My mom and I are close as well and my workshop sits on her property called Tintown, one of Tucson’s greatest secrets.
Do you have pets, if yes, tell us about them
We have a golden doodle named Yoda, a beagle/pitbull named Ginny, and a king snake named Medusa.
When did you know that you would be an artist?
I was on track to be a baseball player, but got burnout big time. I received a degree in English and Creative Writing and started teaching 8th grade language arts…hated it. Started doing metal work for fun and it started to sell. I knew I was fully in as an artist at around 25…7000 sculptures later here I am.
What is your favorite media to work with?
I love working with steel, the challenge of taking a rigid medium and making it look fluid just lights me up.
What do you do when you’re not doing the voodoo that you do (Tom’s way of asking)? Or, what do you do when you’re not doing your art?
When I’m not doing art I’m spending time with my wife Megan, or watching my daughter, Sedona, ride horses. I also tend to love anything Star Wars.

Tamara Scott Anderson is a mixed media fiber artist that lives and works in downtown Tucson, Arizona. She earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Art Education at the University of Arizona. After working as an art teacher for several years she transitioned using her art and design skills into the field of interior design. Continuing her education she became a certified and licensed interior designer and spent 28 years in the field. During that time she continued her appreciation of fabrics and textiles, preparing for her launch back into creating art. Retired as a designer she does now work almost full time in her art endeavors.
Her passion for fabrics and textures, led her to the development of her own distinctive form of 3-dimensional, fiber, wall sculptures. The textural compositions and impressionistic, patterning are rich in depth, created with multiple layers of beading and stitching embellishment. Her distinctive technique takes the woven wall sculptures beyond craft into the realm of art. Living in downtown Tucson she began using reclaimed materials collected from the streets to create a different body of work known as her Street Series...
Tamara has built a local reputation for her sculptural fabric wall art, participating in many juried exhibitions. A feature article on her work was published in the February/March 2022 issue of the Phoenix Home and Garden. At that time her story was picked up by Tucson Channel 9 News and a special segment was aired on her work. During that same time a videographer for the city of Tucson produced a documentary segment on Tamara’s reclaimed, recycled and repurposed art.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gnYfz3qLks
Tamara’s work is currently represented at The Tucson Gallery and the Southern Arizona Artist Guild Gallery.
The Tucson Gallery Asked Each Artist The Same Questions To Get To Know Them Better
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Southern California, Indio to be specific, a low desert compared to Tucson being a high desert. I consider myself a “desert rat” and embrace the heat.
I have been married to my husband, Jerry Anderson (retired), for 40 years. We have a son, Sinclair Anderson, who is a nurse. My daughter, Zoë Anderson, is a media entrepreneur and is one of the creative directors of Cirque Roots, a Tucson circus arts performing group.
Do you have pets, if yes, tell us about them
Our pets include our orange Tabby cat, Big Head, whose head was proportionally big for his body when we first got him. He has since then grown into his head. He loves to help out in my studio. Our little dog, Freeway, is a Sonoran Terrier, who was rescued off the frontage road of Interstate 10. Freeway served as shop dog and store greeter at Contents Interiors for 10 years until we both retired four years ago.
When did you know that you would be an artist?
After graduating high school in Indio, California , I moved to Tucson to attend the University of Arizona to study art. I earned both my Bachelors and Masters of Fine Art in Art Education. I taught in public schools for 4 years when I found my way into the field of interior design. In addition to working in residential design I continued my art and developed my unique fiber sculptures, completing many commission works for my interior design clients. When I became a partner in a furniture showroom and design center, my own art was on hold. Once my retirement plan was put into action I began working on my own art again.
What is your favorite media to work with?
I began working in fiber art during college. Over the years I have explored off loom weaving, spinning, batik, natural and chemical dying processes, felting,basketryand many needle crafts. It was my experience with these various techniques that led me to develop my unique form of fiber wall sculptures. After moving into downtown Tucson I began collecting materials off the streets and out of the washes to use in my wall sculptures.
What do you do when you’re not doing the voodoo that you do (Tom’s way of asking)? Or, what do you do when you’re not doing your art?
When I am not working directly on my own art, I am an active volunteer member in the Fiber Artists of Southern Arizona (FASA) and the Southern Arizona Artist Guild (SAAG). For both these organizations I work to help promote my fellow members. I also enjoy spending time with my family and am extremely blessed that they live in Tucson and seem to enjoy spending time with me and my husband.

Randiesia Fletcher paints the non-smiling face; a normal face, the face of contentment for every day people, particularly people in the Pan African community. It’s an expression to show that Black-skinned people do not have to smile to be excepted. Randiesia’s images express the ideas of W.E.B Dubois’s Double Consciousness- the dichotomy of how one sees themselves versus, how the world sees them through a lens of racism. There should be no fear in normal facial expressions...
One of my favotire sunset images to date! I just love how the Ocotillos are blooming with a beautiful sunset sky in the backdrop. Fall in Tucson is one of my favorite times of year!

Tucson Gallery is Proud to Feature The Orion Nebula by Sean Parker Photography
The Orion Nebula, 2022
Sean Parker Photography
When I first started my photography journey, I was primarily photographing through telescopes. I would shoot galaxies, nebulas, planets, and starclusters! This is one of those images of M42 – The Orion Nebula. This nebula is the closest star forming region and is located 1300 light years away!
During the summer, we get what is called “Monsoon Season” where a lot of storms come up the gulf of mexico and into Tucson. During this season we get some incredible sunsets after the storms clear out. This is one of them!
Located way out in the Tucson desert where there is almost no light pollution, this scene was captured showing the bright milkyway over our iconic saguaros. This is my favorite milkyway image and has become one of my most popular.
