Tamuna Tskhekaia, or Tamoonz as locals know her, is a graphic designer by profession. She created her first street art piece at the age of 17 with a paintbrush as graffiti accessories where not available in the country at that time. Her art caught the eye of international Street Art Festival organizers who invited her to participate in Belgium. Some of her most famous murals feature girls with long, floaty hair.
