Tina Thaw is a writer and artist and the founder of Thawland Creative Studios, where she emphasizes creativity and conscious consumption while prioritizing the planet’s well-being and mindfulness. Through her studio, Tina produces art and experiences that encourage people to slow down, observe the world around them, and reconnect with their inner light.

With her debut book, Advent Christmas Light & Joy: 26 Days of Scripture, Coloring, Puzzles, and Holiday Fun, Tina combines her love of spiritual faith, art, and tradition to help families and individuals merge the joyful sparkle of the season with spiritual reflection. Her friendly, inventive style promotes a “both-and” perspective that celebrates the sacred and the traditional festivities as parts of one beautiful whole.

Her work and life are inspired by nature. Both can be grounded and subtle, yet playful and vibrant at the same time. No matter the subject or color palette, Tina designs to spread joy wherever it appears. When she isn’t creating, Tina draws inspiration from nature, family, and friends, as well as the simple magic each day offers.

Tina currently has three different book projects underway: a children’s picture book, an adult activity and coloring book, and a passion project centered around mindful living and sustainable self-care, while continuing with her design work.
