LT
LT is a Minneapolis-based visual artist whose work advocates that art imitates life, thus reflecting its duality and defying the push to fit into an imaginary box. Each piece stems from the dreamlike perspectives of the inner child, which appreciates comfort, luck, and beauty with raw clarity. Known for her brand TASHICOXO, an ode to her cat Tashi, LT’s multidisciplinary practice merges her creative passions to highlight the magnetism of authenticity.
As a sapphic, neurodivergent woman, LT draws inspiration from the grief, wonder, and hope of her childhood’s themes and aesthetics. Unbeknownst to her, these symbols served as a common thread for others, too, who would later share with her their same identities and solitude. No matter where you fall on the spectrum of lived experience, you are known. It is vital to feel understood, inspired, and empowered.
TASHICOXO’s mission is to affirm the necessity of whimsy and pleasure. It is our intention that our community cultivates and shares personal meanings that remind us of what is alive, breathing, and interconnected.
Tashi
Tashi is a Minneapolis-based Siamese Ragdoll whose work as Emotional Support Animal inspired the self-accommodating, self-validating and self-assured world of TASHICOXO.
Like her autistic mommy, Tashi too is quite the shapeshifter. With the wagging tail and eating habits of a dog, the markings of a possum, the climbing skills of a monkey, the eyesight of a bat, the beak of a bird, the neck of Master Oogway, and the meow of a microwave, Tashi is the poster child of authenticity. Beloved to all, she teaches the healing power of a love that is pure.
To spread her impact beyond the walls of her fortress, TASHICOXO wants to give back to the communities that have given so much to us, starting with our home of Minneapolis.
