Creator Interview with Visual Painter, Muralist, & Custom Apparel Designer - Tierra Diaz
Episode 2 of Creator’s Canvas features an authentic in-depth interview with Tierra Diaz. “Start now, step out
of your comfort zone”, Ms. Diaz brings inspiration to anyone that meets her. She is humble, down to earth,
and yet a transcendent leader raising the bar for those that can think outside the box.
Multi-talented, down to earth, up and coming entrepreneur, born, and raised in Saint Paul. Tierra is Mexican
and Filipino, separated into foster care from her family of 7 other siblings. Overcoming early childhood
struggle, negative criticism in high school, and lingering self-doubt, many of her artistic pieces reveal the
beautiful authentic strength of positive affirmations.
Tierra’s creations range from building murals, one-of-a-kind jackets, to painting capital political moments
exhibiting hidden truths for those misrepresented in the news media. Ms. Diaz builds strong connections
easily with the art social and community groups from pop-up stands to art crawls. Many are internally moved
by her natural ability to express emotions, thoughts, and visions that genuinely reflect the circumstances in
the world today.
