VISIT SEDONA ARTISTS IN THE HEART OF THE RED ROCKS

Tatia has always believed that it is a fabulous experience seeing a work of art being "born".

While a Bed and Breakfast owner in Sedona, Tatia formed business relationships with many area artists. She is very knowledgeable about local artists, and has maintained close friendships with most of them for many years.

While living in San Diego years ago, Tatia owned her own tour company taking tour groups throughout the Southwest, including Baja, CA, and Santa Fe, NM. Her connection to the art world is innate. Her uncle travels the world restoring artwork in famous old buildings and homes and was involved in the restoration of the Capitol Building and the Jefferson Library and her brother is a well extablished artist in Mesa, AZ.

Tatia has traveled throughout Europe many times visting friends and seeing new sites. Her love of travel began as a 15 year old teenager who had just been visited by a member of YFU (Youth For Understanding) at school. The exchange student program was being introduced to her high school.

Tatia lived in Greece for the summer of her 16th year. That was all it took, she was hooked!! After becoming a spokesperson for YFU and going to several high schools to introduce the program to other students, Tatia had made many friends from many countries who were students at these surrounding schools. She keeps in touch with them all to this day. Tatia's travels took her every two years or so to England, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Greece. She has traveled to Australia, Figi and most of the United States, as well. She would backpack all over and immerse herself in the culture of each country.

Children changed much of this backpacking lifestyle. Tatia has three boys and a stepdaughter. But this did not deter her love of the tourism industry.
