Nashville based mural artist

I'm Tarabella, a mural artist and creative based in both Nashville, TN and Portland, ME. Before I started showing my work publicly, I was just a closeted painter with big dreams.

I've been a professional muralist since 2018 and currently have over 250 murals scattered across the southeast and a few sprinkled in Chicago and upstate New York. Loving what I do is an understatement and by all means, a labor of love. I do have a signature style like the Sophia Loren mural inside Il Forno and the one of Jimi Hendrix I did for Burnin’ Bridges Chattanooga. Though I cherish being given creative freedom, the majority of my murals are custom walls that are curated for the space and sometimes I get to design for both.

My work is in hotels, restaurants, bars, private residences, anywhere with foot traffic, and has been showcased on tv shows such as CMT Crossroads and The Home Edit.

It brings me so much joy to see people tag me in photos with my art or to see them stop and stare at the mural when I pass by. We are all connected and that’s what public art does. It connects us.

Consultation is everything. Even if you’re not 100% sure what you’re looking for, I can help with the creative process based on the ambience of whatever space the art is going into or the message you want to express in visuals.
