ARTclectic Art Gallery Owners: Starr and Tarry Shebesta

Starr and Tarry at the Grand Hotel — Starr and Tarry Shebesta

A Gallerist and an Artist

Art is an important facet of Starr's life. She discovered a love of drawing in elementary school and took art classes in a variety of media: oils, acrylics, pastels, and charcoal. Later in life, she explored watercolor which has since become her favorite medium.

To pursue her dream of owning her own business, Starr studied Economics at the University of Virginia and earned an MBA in Finance at New York University. Since 1998, she and her entrepreneurial husband, Tarry, own and operate a financial technology company of which she is the Chief Financial Officer.

In 2022, Starr opened ARTclectic Art Gallery, currently the top rated art gallery in Cincinnati, with a mission to showcase the fabulous artwork of talented Cincinnati artists.

Starr gives back to the artistic community in a volunteer capacity by serving on the Board of the Greater Cincinnati Watercolor Society as its Treasurer, Website Manager, and Communications Chair.
