Tay Cunningham. was born and raised in Bad Kreuznach, Germany, yet considers Texas his home. "Art has always been a part of my being, ever since I could hold a crayon" Tay states. Tay currently enjoys being a portrait artist and has been featured in the International Museum of Art as well as the UTEP Student Union and beyond. Tay states that he was attracted to this art discipline for its difficulty as well as the desire to understand people and emotions better. His goal as an artist is to provoke certain emotions through his work. He feels he still has a long way to go but wants you to watch his journey. via Instagram: @tays_portfolio.
