Bio

AnnCharlotte Tavolacci is a Fine Artist, Licensed Creative Art Therapist, and Creative Life Coach. An alumna of the School of Visual Arts (BFA) and Long Island University (MA), her career is a deep synthesis of the fine arts and psychology.

As a recognized speaker featured in national solo exhibitions and prestigious residencies across the US and Canada, Tavolacci creates from a confessional platform that examines the intersection of symbolism, nature, and the internal cycle of recreation. She currently operates her artist studio and private practice in eastern Long Island, where she resides with her family.

Earlier in her career, she worked in New York City and Los Angeles as a Fine Art Activist and Therapeutic Specialist for a government non-profit, supporting homeless and mentally ill residents. She has also served as a Graduate Professor at Long Island University and taught across colleges and charter schools, developing curriculum in fine arts, psychology, and portfolio development.

She is currently developing Guardians of the Sacred Core, a large-scale painting series and forthcoming book that explores the balance of inner strength and gratitude through animal symbolism and personal narrative. The series draws inspiration from nature’s majestic creatures—beings that embody both vulnerability and power—and serves as an invitation to reconnect with the sacred core that so often becomes obscured in daily life.

Through her painting, writing, and therapeutic practice, AnnCharlotte weaves creativity into every aspect of living—both for herself and for others seeking a path toward authentic joy and self-awareness.
