Shay Tarlton is a fine arts major specializing in Watercolor at the American Academy of Art. He excels in aspects of realism and likes to focus on a mixture of man made and natural objects. Other influences come from music and real life scenarios. Having experienced a situation gives Shay the ability to pour much more emotion and reality into a piece. His work has been described as "delicate" painting by his piers. He finds a great satisfaction in creating pieces filled with realism and a hint of imagination. When not painting Say also dabbles in his fair share of drawing that focuses on the human body. Graduating in early 2017 with a BFA in Fine Arts, Shay opes to develop a portfolio worth filling a gallery and eventually opening his own.
