Welcome to Studio Syrenka
Hi! I'm Tamara, the artist behind Studio Syrenka. I love creating collaborative murals, installations, and artwork for schools, communities, and collectors. My favorite projects are the ones where everyone gets to join in the fun.
MURALS | made to join
Murals are more than decoration. They tell stories, celebrate identities, and bring people together. I create custom murals for schools, communities, and organizations, either painting them myself or guiding participants through the creative process. Each project transforms a space while creating lasting connections among the people who help bring it to life.
Creative Services
As an artist, licensed K-12 visual art educator, and visiting muralist, I create collaborative projects that combine professional artistry with hands-on participation, helping communities come together to create something meaningful. My projects help students build confidence, strengthen community connections, and leave behind artwork they are proud to call their own.

"Tamara uses art and murals to bring communities together and create a lasting legacy that reflects the deep connection between creativity and community. Through active listening and thoughtful investigation, she uncovers what makes each community unique and weaves those stories and identities into the heart of her work."

"Mrs. Fernandez completely transformed the art program for the better during her time at LCS. She worked on a number of collaborative murals that allowed anyone in the community to have a hand in the process; from the first brainstorms to the final brush stroke. Without fail, she would completely transform the space, perfectly reflecting the community, and always with a smile and a kind word."

"Tamara is so good at bringing the community together to celebrate the arts. Many of us joined in with trepidation, having never painted a mural before. Tamara's welcoming smile and infectious positivity quickly put us at ease. I speak for all of us when I say that we all truly enjoyed the experience of painting with so many different community members and we all have a sense of pride when we see our beautiful wall!"

"Thank you for such an amazing experience! It really was such a cool opportunity to paint and to get to know more about the JLC and the amazing students within it. Mrs.Tamara is incredibly talented and was super helpful and kind everyday. Thanks for working so hard in regulating and organizing all of our activities!"

"Thank you so much, I had such a great time being part of the mural. It was super fun working with you and everyone else, and I’m really glad I could contribute to the overall project. Your support and encouragement helped me a lot and motivates me to keep improving. I’d love to be part of something like this again in the future."
