Tammy Tatum - Author • Illustrator • Fine Artist
I’m an author and fine artist creating story-driven artwork for children, families, and the adults who care deeply about meaningful stories.
My work lives at the intersection of illustration and fine art, where expressive line, restraint, and intentional color invite viewers to slow down and look a little closer.
Through children’s books, original artwork, and narrative illustration, I explore curiosity, courage, and connection.
Winslow Whiskerby, my inquisitive, big-hearted rat, is one expression of that work.
I’m drawn to the everyday emotional experiences that carry from childhood into adulthood, the moments that are frustrating, funny, tender, or quietly sad.
Whether you’re a parent, librarian, bookseller, or art lover, you step into a world where storytelling leads, and imagination follows.
Selected Works
A selection of work spanning fine art, illustration, and children’s books, united by story, restraint, and intentional detail.
Meet Winslow Whiskerby.
Winslow is a curious, big-hearted rat with a fondness for cheese and a knack for finding himself in unexpected situations. His stories unfold through small adventures, narrow escapes, and new friendships.
Created for children and the adults who read with them, these are stories where humor and tenderness live side by side, and where noticing the world closely is part of the adventure.
