“My love affair with art began as a child and will continue the rest of my life.”  Born in Mississippi, Tina began sculpting and drawing at the age of four.  While growing up she developed the lifelong habit of sketching and once recalled that "No scrap of paper was immune".  Thus began a passion for art that has lasted a lifetime. 

     Tina’s works are in numerous public and private collections worldwide.  She has done portraits for well-known personalities including former Governor Bill Daniel, Greg Pappas, country music star Mickey Gilley and many others too numerous to mention.  She has served as an art juror, demonstrator, lecturer, and teacher.  Tina is proud of the fact that many of her students have become accomplished artists and teachers.  She has studied with over a dozen major artist/teachers worldwide throughout her career and has numerous awards to her credit.  

     Tina is available for commissions and private tutoring.  For portrait prices contact Tina directly.  Szajko Studio and Gallery is conveniently located in Houston, Texas, home of the Museum of Fine Arts.
