Hiring Tamara was the best decision I made for our nursery. She is so talented and is also kind, patient, and reliable. She helped us design the mural and was open to our feedback throughout the process. The finished product -- a storybook mural -- is amazing. Every single person who sees it is in awe. We were very lucky to find Tamara. I will definitely use her again. read more

We hired Tamara for some restoration-type work in our home. We had done some renovations, including taking a wall down next to our fireplace, and found that, unfortunately, the brick did not go all the way up to the ceiling. Our fireplace is very unique in that the brick was salvaged from Pioneer Square long ago when our house was built. With the brick being so special, it meant that it would be hard to match with new materials. We wondered if the cinder block could be painted to look similar to the rest of the fireplace, and so we contacted Tamara. She was great and very professional, from the project proposal through the completion of the work. We are thrilled with the outcome! Thank you, Tamara, for helping us make our first house our home!! read more

Art by Tamara Hergert - Commissioned Artists Near Me

I recently hired Tamara for a really fun project. When I bought my home, it had a koi pond. It was dangerous, my dog fell in it once and that was too close a call so we filled it in. But it was an ugly cement patch in a beautiful courtyard. Tamara painted some Koi on it and it's stunning. Better than I could have imagined. She also did a very cool moss art for me, come the rainy season and it will be incredible. read more

Tamara did an amazing job on our Winnie the Pooh nursery. The whole process of getting started with the mural was so smooth. Tamara came to our house for the initial consultation and based on the room measurements, she provided us with a quote. She then provided us with a preliminary sketch of the room and we had some creative discussions. The actual painting of the room took about 5 days and it came out better than we could have ever dreamed. It was amazing to see how the room transformed after each day. The detail and artistry truly can't be fully captured in the pictures. Our friends and family cannot believe how much detail was captured in the mural. Our twin boys are so lucky to sleep in a nursery as beautiful as this one is. They will enjoy this room for years to come. Tamara was so friendly and professional with the entire process. She was open to any ideas we had but she had so much creativity to come up with this specific design. We are so thankful to have found Tamara and hope to use her services again some day in the future. read more

We contacted Tamara to work on a very large mural for our children's playroom. When we first discussed the project, I had a theme in mind but did not feel like it was the best idea, I just wanted it done. Tamara came, saw the space and gave us an amazing design that I was just thrilled about. As soon as we met her, we knew she was someone we would love to work with. She is very thoughtful about her work: she considers perspective, lighting, function and other elements of the design that, as a non-artist, I never would have thought of. During the project, she was so easy to work with. She was patient when I made requests and extremely open to discussing new ideas or making changes. The project went so smoothly, she finished so quickly and she was extremely neat about the work. It was a pleasure to watch it come to fruition. Our children are absolutely in love with their playroom of course. What's more surprising is that adults love to be in the room as well. Which I know is a testament to Tamara's design, consideration of perspective and her careful, meticulous painting that truly make the mural a work of art. We absolutely, wholeheartedly, enthusiastically recommend Tamara! BTW, please go to her website to see our awesome playroom, it's the one with the Seattle skyline. read more

I hired Tamara to paint a basic one tone cloud mural featuring some clouds shaped like jungle animals on the ceiling of our nursery. She was extremely responsive, pleasant and willing to work within my budget. Before she got started we spent some time discussing the overall vision for the entire room and she gave me suggestions to help tie it all together. I would definitely recommend her to others in the area looking for an artistic touch. Thank you Tamara! read more
