From a young age,Tanarah Haynie always knew she wanted to be an artist. A chance job at nineteen
at a local flower shop gave her that opportunity. She was hooked. From that point on she pursued her
career in the floral industry, which culminated in opening her own business, Distinctive Designs by
Tanarah. Even though Tanarah’s design work includes the daily floral works for funerals, get-well, and
everyday occasions, she specializes in special event floral and design. Having flawlessly executed
jaw-dropping events for celebrity groups, heads of state, and large conventions with national coverage,
her team has gained accolades for some of the edgiest design around. Tanarah herself has earned the
coveted accreditation from the American Institute of Floral Designers, AIFD. This is the highest recognition
a floral designer can achieve.
Her passion for animals has caused her to recognize the large number of homeless animals in and
around the Pulaski county area. Tanarah has featured animals in some of her past ad work, and noticed
an enthusiastic response from the community. This got her thinking, “ Hey, what if I used animals in
need of a home and cleaned and dressed them up. Would this peak the publics’ interest and help these
animals?” This started an ad campaign that features animals in need that are available for adoption.
Please keep your eyes open for new ads, and remember that these animals need your help.
