Tina Finn is a Rhode Island School of Design graduate with almost 40 years of experience in various design disciplines. She began my career at Hallmark as an illustrator and has remained in the social expressions industry ever since. Areas of expertise include illustration, surface design, graphic design, merchandise design, and art direction. Tina is self-taught and loves learning new ways to solve creative challenges.

“I LOVE what I do!” Tina says “My styles are very eclectic—I describe myself as “a Swiss Army knife of styles.” Color, nature, pattern, texture, and constant research are her inspiration and motivation… but especially, color. Her journals are filled with ideas, clippings, favorite quotes, sketches, and oodles of doodles.

Tina explains her creative spirit “I have found, over the years, that the one common thread that weaves through all of us artists is that we were drawn to the wonderful world of creativity at an early age. I am among that group. Being creative is an intrinsic need in me—just like breathing, I must create. For me, it’s an undeniable force that has brought me great joy. It is a gift of passion and ambition that inspires me to be the best I can, no matter what the task. I believe in myself enough to risk the prospect of failure”.
