“Hi! My name is Tatum Mulholland, and I am the Art Studio Instructor at OTB! I have always been very passionate about art and began taking art classes at just age 5. My favorite medium to work with is oil painting, but I also love mixed media! I graduated from Ball State in 2024, with a Bachelor of Art and a minor in marketing and studio art.
I am so excited to have joined OTB! It is such a fun and positive learning environment, and I cannot wait to further contribute to the OTB art program!"
