In Nepali the word Tara translates to Star or Planet. In Buddhism, Tara is the female Bodhisattva who embodies compassion and wisdom. Tara Devi is a collaboration between Lilia Shakya and Marilee Passeretti. Named after Lilia‘s eldest aunt, it is not only a tribute to family and heritage but also a collaboration of the unity and beauty of Asian Cultures.

As the children of immigrants, our purpose is to bring to life the mythology, environment, and the constant search for belonging that has shaped our existence. We are moving beyond survival into exploration and discovery. Our hope is that our art sparks joy, nostalgia, and appreciation for the world around us.

All products are handmade with love, care, and attention.

May you be happy and healthy,

The Tara Devi Arts Team
