About The Artist

Tammy Lee Maharrey is a self taught digital artist. She is a retired Pediatric Dentist and holds a Master's Degree in Pediatric Dentistry from the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center, College of Dentistry, a Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center, College of Dentistry and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

​

Tammy began taking formal art lessons at the age of seven years old. Her mother enrolled her in a pottery/ceramics class in West Chester, Pennsylvania. From childhood her interests in the various art forms led her to a career in Pediatric Dentistry. These years allowed her to immerse herself in many art experiences where an idea became a design, a mold, a cast or another finished product that she developed to restore a smile.

 

Tammy enjoys integrating texture into her projects through various embossing techniques, collage art, drawing, and painting. She has also designed a line of leather goods and accessories that were developed, marketed and sold in Nashville, Tennessee.

​

During the Covid Pandemic isolation period, Tammy began to pursue an interest in digital painting. The artworks displayed in her portfolio represent three areas of interest for the artist: Nature, Faces, and Abstract art forms. Her artworks are an expression of life and love.
