Our Team

Leading the Gradient Expressions family is Tamra Turner, a full-time mother, wife, and artist with a particular passion for the craft of painting. Tamra's mastery spans a wide range of mediums and surfaces - from large-scale murals and intricate body art, to custom canvas creations. Her eye for color and design allows her to breathe life into even the most ambitious visions.

Joining Tamra is a talented crew of artists, each bringing their own flair and expertise to the table. Daphne Aguilar, our resident balloon twisting and glitter tattoo specialist, wows guests with her creative flair and boundless energy.
