Hi! I’m Tara P. a Columbus, OH based hand embroidery artist behind everything you see here on The 9th Floor Basement.

If you love Ohio, plants that live forever, custom pieces to give your best friend who moved to Texas last year, cats, cats,& more cats, and anything else that can be sketched or embroidered, I'm your lady. 

With a B.F.A. in Creative Writing & Pop Culture and a lot real life experience under my belt, I'm always trying to think outside of the box-but also willing to climb into one if it gets the job done right.

Embroidery hoops can brighten up shelves, gallery walls, work cubicles, and anywhere else the rest of your favorite things reside. My mission is to slowly expand into other embroidery media as life and whatnot allows, so keep checking back to see what's new!

If you have any questions, requests, or would just love to chat, please email me at tarap@the9thfloorbasement.com .

In true introverted fashion, I'm mostly bad at small talk but I love people and a good story. Let’s chat!
