Tied Together with a Ribbon

Amy Tarleton, an artist attuned to the emotional pulse of life, eloquently expresses the complexities of human existence. With her words, she bridges the tangible and the intangible, exploring our collective experiences with depth and compassion. Amy is an ocean lover turned desert appreciator. In addition to writing, Amy loves to create through painting, set design, and dé cor. She is fiercely loyal, deeply spiritual, and passionate about helping others. Most significantly, Amy is a reader through and through; whether going to bed, getting ready for the day, riding shotgun, walking down the hallway... if you can find her, she's reading. She hopes to one day convince her husband to turn their living space into a library. And a Lego workshop. And an art studio. You can find more of Amy's poignant poetry on Instagram @atppoems, where she continues to delve into the light and dark corners of our shared humanity.
