Tia Wells began taking art seriously in high school and enrolled in the Advanced Placement (AP) Program for art. That’s where she started learning foundational techniques of painting from Darrel Smith and Dennis Whitehouse. She was also a Governor’s School for the Arts where she studied with Susan Harrison. Tia earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Louisville with a double major in Psychology and Fine Art.
In 2022 she became a member of Pyro Gallery, where in January 2022 she exhibited in "Tad & Tia: Art from the Heart from Tad DeSanto & Tia Wells"
