About Tahnee

My name’s Tahnee Gehm and I am an artist.

All my life I’ve had a passion for drawing and creating. Animation has been a curiosity of mine, and making something spring to life from lifeless sheets of paper (or lifeless bits of electronic information) is more satisfactory than finishing an enormous painting or drawing project.

But, that isn’t to say that I don’t enjoy drawing! I am currently an illustration major at a community college. I am currently designing T-shirts and am doing illustrations for a children’s book.

On November 16th, 2007, I submitted my art portfolio to CalArts for their Character Animation program. I’ll hear back from them in March or April to know if I’ve been accepted– so let’s cross our fingers! :D

Along with drawing all the strange things that come to mind (as you can see from the drawings on this blog), I am also a webdesigner and a musician.

I started playing violin when I was six and piano when I was eight. I recently took a Computer Music class where I learned how to use synthesizers. While it’s a lot of fun and I know I could probably get somewhere with it if I pursued it further, Shoveling out $3,000 for a synthesizer is probably going to put me behind more than forward at this point!

I’ve been designing websites ever since middle school; my first website was tahnee.com, which is an accumulation of random stuff that I put together over quite a long period of time. It also is home to hundreds of Tahnees, who can share their info and photos on the website.

You’re at my most current website– tahnee.org. I figured I would put together a website for my artwork and creative endeavors. (I was quite proud of its redesign in August ‘06 :) )

This blog is to update whoever’s interested in my art on my latest sketchbook drawings or WIP’s or whatever is artistically new in my world. Enjoy! :D
