Tara Aiken is a self-taught professional chalk artist renowned for creating artwork that looks just like a photograph or appears to pop right out of the ground. Her journey began during the pandemic, when she picked up sidewalk chalk as a way to get outside with her two young children and bring joy to her neighbors.

 

What started as a creative outlet quickly gained recognition, propelling Tara to become one of the most sought-after street artists in Minnesota.

 

Tara has worked with big name companies like Amazon/MGM Studios, Little Cinema, the Minnesota Twins, Walmart, Children’s Minnesota, Compass/Optum, the Parade of Homes, WYNK, and more.​
