About Tabetha Landt

Picture of the artist
Tabetha Landt was born in New York City in the tumultuous 1960’s. Her mother was an activist and her father a jazz musician. At the age of six her mother moved her to Denver Colorado, where she still resides.
Tabetha has never taken an art class, and had very little interest in art as a child. She was much more interested in music and dance, two influences that are now evident in her paintings. She considers herself a late bloomer; she started painting at the age of thirty. Once she picked up the paint brush and immersed herself in the painting process she never looked back.

“I'm not concerned with copying a subject exactly as it appears in front of me, instead I focus on the mood and try to convey how a particular person or place made me feel. I paint whatever moves and inspires me in the moment: nature, cities, and people being my main inspirations. 

"I love the experimentation and freedom that art allows - I can create whatever I want on the canvas. Often a painting will start out with one idea and end up somewhere else completely. It’s a journey and I go where the paint takes me.


My personal mission is to inspire and awaken possibilities in others. I do this not only through creating art, but also by helping people get in touch with their creative selves, and helping them live more authentic lives. I believe I'm doing exactly what I am here to do."

The Accidental Teacher

I quit my full-time job in 2009 to pursue a career in art. I knew it was the worst possible economy to do such a thing, but... I also knew that if I didn't do it then, I never would. A year later I was still working part time helping out at my old job, and not selling enough art to make ends meet. I had to face the fact that I may have to give up my art studio, and this made me sad beyond words. So I racked my brain for different ways to use my studio and bring in some money. 

People had suggested that I teach for several years prior, so I thought... why not? I opened the doors to Painting Soiree on Santa Fe in September 2010. 

Although it started out as a way to keep my studio, it has turned into a passion. I love teaching! And people have really responded well to my classes. My favorite thing is having people leave my studio proud of their work,having had little or no prior painting experience.
 "I had no idea I could do that!" is one of my favorite comments.

Over the years Painting Soiree has morphed to include open studio (freestyle) sessions, classes on creativity, oil paints, technique, abstract painting and art retreats. My business name has changed to Landt Creative Space to embrace the all of the creative work that happens in my studio. (My next endeavor will be online classes!) 

After 9 years in the Art District on Santa Fe, I recently moved to the 40 West Arts District in Lakewood Colorado.I love my new studio space! The old space was full of character, but the new space has some comforts that the old one didn't: it's on the ground floor (no stairs!), we have a parking lot, air conditioning and wifi. We've moved into the 21st century! 

If you're in the Denver area, I hope you'll join me for a class or a First Friday Art Market! If you live farther away, please sign up for my email newsletter - and I'll send you a FREE copy of my ebook - Painting Through It - as a thank you gift!
