TARA AIKEN

Tara is a Minnesota-based professional street painter and chalk artist best known for her hyper-realistic and nostalgic creations.

 

She discovered her passion for chalk art while drawing on her driveway at home during the pandemic. Her art quickly gained recognition and she has since been commissioned for work and participated in multiple chalk and street painting festivals across the US.

 

When she's not chalking, Tara has become a renowned sneaker artist and muralist. She was even asked to create custom cleats for Carlos Correa as part of the Minnesota Twins x Nike City Connect debut.
