Tawnya Hudnell

Illustrator and textile artist, Tawnya Lee, is a San Antonio-based painter delivering a quarter century of live art expertise. Her love of inclusive representation and celebration of the diversity of the human body drives her live paintings. 

As a VCU-trained artist, she also brings an East Coast eye to her fashion paintings. When not painting, she likes to spend time in the garden with her husband and her two very creative autistic children.

Tawnya’s Work

Tawnya’s favorite medium is watercolor. Although she can use alcohol-based markers, watercolor adds a fluid element to her illustrations. Her lively Illustrations are sure to make your guest light up.
