Tatia Starkey is a UK-based contemporary abstract and photographic artist, multi-instrumentalist, and singer-songwriter. She began painting in 2023, using body-based imprint techniques with acrylic paint to create expressive, organic forms.
Raised in a family of internationally recognised musicians, she was immersed in music from an early age.
She continues to write and record her own material as Vada Paint and is the bass guitarist for My Vitriol.
She was co-creator of the band Belakiss, recorded on Lola Colt's studio album, produced by Jim Sclavunos, and has performed with her father Zak Starkey's band, Penguins Rising. Her broader background includes work as a dancer and performing artist, and she is the founder of the organic skin and body care brand The Holistic Witch.
Her photographic works have been sold through The Circle Gallery. She also created the artwork for Sanctum on The Green hotel and restaurant, and her show with Kaizen Fine Art in September - October 2026.
