First off, thanks for visiting Notjustawall.com.

My name is Chad Tarbutton and I was born December 19, 1984 and raised in Tampa, FL where I began drawing with anything that I could get my hands on.

My art ability sky rocketed during my high school years at Alonso High School where my wonderful art teacher, Yvette Lowe, pushed me to do my very best. When I discovered my ability to draw portraits, I fell in love. It was and still is my favorite thing to do.

After graduating High school in 2003, I took some art classes at Hillsborough Community College where I found that I was way above the league in my class and was asked by my art professors to take a more advanced class. Instead, we agreed upon independent studies, where I soon began to paint and use other medium such as prisma color, oil pastels, oil paints, and acrylic paints.

Presently, I'm attending the University of South Florida where I am obtaining my Master’s in Architecture.  I still paint and draw whenever my hands are free.

My work is currently being hosted in the Meridian Hookah Lounge in Tampa, Florida where I present and sell my work. Luckily, it is a free art gallery where I can make a name for myself.

If you are interested in any work presented here or at the Meridian Hookah Lounge, please feel free to contact me at any time.
