Hey everyone,
I have lived on the northern beaches all my life and have painted and drawn since i can remember,.. I am a self taught artist…
About 17 yrs ago i began my business, The Big Cactus, and displayed my painting on terracotta pots at the local markets. I had such a huge following that i was able to work full time from home and ceased doing the markets YEA!!!
Anywho i have now for 10 yrs displayed in my front yard everyday a huge painted pot display, affectionately known as the pot lady, (i Hope), i would paint there for everyone to see everyday…
Then in 2008 i turned the top half of my house into an art gallery and invited 6 local artists to display there artwork there..
We held 4 successful art Exhibitions..
In late 2008 i opened my online shop and now deliver world wide.. Tania Kay – Original Art
In 2009 , my business expanded to such an extent that i finally moved into my own Art Gallery and art shop, VERY HAPPY!!!!

2010 So much community support.. I filled my gallery with huge florals and beach scenes and everything sold :0).
Now 2011 is so exciting, i have finished up painting my pots and am fully focused on my canvas paintings… I now have a Kids art gallery and am taking Kids Art Classes..
I hope you enjoy my art…
I paint with Exterior House Paints for durability and uv resistance…
You can choose from my extensive Gallery or i can paint straight from your Photos…
