Tayaru is a Eugene based artist who grew up in India, raised in a culturally rich and traditional environment that nurtured her deep appreciation for art, storytelling, and heritage. Immersed from an early age in the colors, motifs, and rituals of Indian culture, she developed a profound connection to traditional art forms, which naturally led her to Madhubani painting. She is a certified graduate of the Indian Institute of Mithila Art and Research and has over three years of dedicated experience exploring this intricate and vibrant style. Drawn to its bold colours, detailed floral patterns, symbolic animals, and mythology characters, Tayaru primarily works with acrylics on canvas and paper, while also experimenting with wood, ceramics, fabric, glass, and murals. Her work bridges centuries-old Indian traditions with contemporary expression, celebrating her cultural heritage while inviting audiences in Eugene and beyond to experience the joy, storytelling, and timeless vibrancy of Madhubani art.
