After becoming a mother and undertaking post-graduate study (Graduate Diploma of Education), Tanya reestablished herself in visual arts in 2006 - this time focusing on fibre arts - dyeing, stenciling and fabric painting. The 'kaleidoscopic clothes' era spanned until 2008. Tanya created more than 500 pieces of wearable art within this period, primarily for children, and sold them through her online stores. She also exhibited in 2007.
Tanya's current focus is sharpening her copy and editing skills while working in marketing communications in the public sector. Although she has a visual arts exhibition planned for mid 2010, most of her spare time is now spent on researching new and social media and preparing to write her first book.
