Tatjana Mai-Wyss was born in Switzerland. Growing up with her nose in a book, she always wanted to be the one to draw the pictures.
Today Tatjana lives in sunny South Carolina. Most often she uses watercolor and gouache, adding detail and texture with collage and colored pencils. Her black and white work is usually done the old fashioned way, in india ink with a dip pen.
Lately she has had a good time experimenting with papercuts
