February 2025: Melissa and me at my first solo art show, Fuck It, at Alt Creative

I'm Tammy Underwood (most of Duluth knows me as Tam Tam), a mixed media artist and furniture painter. Reimagined is my furniture and decor brand, built on one simple idea: nothing is too tired, too dated or too far gone. With paint, transfers, moulds and a little fearlessness, almost anything can get a second life.

My work runs on two tracks. Reimagined is the furniture side: chalk-painted dressers, cabinets and chairs layered with florals, gilding and texture. Fuck It Art Series is my mixed media resistance art: vintage imagery, sacred iconography and feminist themes with a punk, unapologetic edge. Both come from the same place. Take what you're handed and make it say something new.

This shop is where I share the tools I actually use, so you can do the same.

Alt Creative: me + Melissa

Partners in crime

Reimagined lives at Alt Creative, the art, crafts, vintage and community space I co-own with my partner in crime, Melissa.

Our story started with my art. Melissa found my work on social media and asked to host my very first solo art show, Fuck It, at Alt Creative in February 2025. That's when I joined Alt Creative, and today we run it together.

Melissa is a painter, muralist and pet portrait artist who also gives thrifted "weird grandma" treasures a whole new attitude. Together we run a storefront that's home to more than 50 local artists and makers, and a gathering place for workshops, live painting, markets and community events. It's loud, colorful, welcoming and a little rebellious. Just like us.
