Savannah, Georgia has a bustling art scene and Tafy LaPlanche is an artist with a unique vision and a story all her own. We caught up with Tafy in her art studio and gallery in downtown Savannah Georgia currently at City Market where she shared some beautiful insights to what drives her work.

Tafy is a self described Afro Latina portrait artist with ties to both NYC and Savannah, Ga who “paints unique vibrant portraits for unique and vibrant people.” What we learned in our time with her though is that she has depth to her spirit, and is an artist who pays tribute to her past and culture. Tafy is a portrait artist who creates for others, but make no mistake about it she also creates a massive amount of personal work as well which is gaining attention and recognition. Throughout much of 2022 her work was exibited at the Telfair Museum in Savannah where she gave a presentation at the Jepson Center.
