THIRTY THREE: In Bloom

A solo exhibition by Tara Nantais | Divine Designs

THIRTY THREE: In Bloom was a celebration of a new chapter - turning 33, putting down roots in Nashville, and recognizing all that God had done in my life to bring me there.

Just five months before the exhibition, I had packed up my life and moved to Nashville with a desire to step more fully into the creative community and create work that could bring my faith into that space. This exhibition became an opportunity to do exactly that.

More than simply displaying my work, I wanted this to feel like a gathering. A place where people could experience the art in person, make new connections, and simply share space with one another. Building community and creating opportunities for connection were a huge part of why I came to Nashville in the first place, so being able to bring that vision to life through my first solo exhibition here was incredibly meaningful.

The evening brought together creatives, friends, supporters, and new faces from across Nashville. The turnout was far beyond what I could have imagined, and I was deeply humbled by the people who showed up to support my work and celebrate this new chapter with me.

Looking back, this feels like more than a solo show. It was a marker of what God had done in the first five months of my new life in Nashville and a reminder of just how much can bloom from a place of willingness and faith.
