Amy Tanaka Art + Design
I am Amy Tanaka, an artist, muralist, surface pattern designer, and sign artist for Trader Joe’s. I create art work for simple things around the home or office, and design unique pieces for businesses, and public spaces in the community. I have been an artist since I was little, but have worked professionally as an artist since 2009. I work predominantly with paint (acrylic or watercolor) for hand lettering signs and murals, but also have a plethora of experience in surface pattern design which includes patterns for fabric and wallpaper, logos, marketing materials, etc. I have helped coordinate and paint backdrops and signage for Long Beach festivals and nonprofit events, weddings, and art walks. I have found that most of my work has gravitated towards what I value in the community which is food access and health, unity, and environmental awareness.
