At eighteen, she began her professional journey as the youngest Account Executive for couture designer Mary McFadden.

Her artistic perspective and analytical skills, combined with her degree, propelled her into a successful career as a Luxury Retail Executive.

In November 2022, she launched the Tanya Weddemire Gallery with a mission to celebrate the transformative power of art and community and highlight the vitality of art in diverse communities.
