My name is Santia Eytina , Tia for short. I am a mixed-media abstract artist. I grew up in upstate New York and have been painting abstract for about a decade. A quote by Maya Angelo sums up how I like to live my life: ‘Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.’

Tia lives in Binghamton NY, striving to connect her art with as many people as possible. She believes abstract art is like solving a puzzle. “There are all these pieces that don’t seem like they would fit together, but you spend time with these pieces and work with them, and then you see it! You see how everything should come together, and it’s like this chaotic harmony.” Tia has helped curate local exhibitions in her area and has shown in multiple galleries and museums. She is active in her community and her ultimate goal is to connect and communicate with people through art.
