About
Why “Tall Girl”?
Encara is six feet tall, thus the name of the business. (And no, she does not play basketball.)
Sign painter. Artist. 21.
She has lived in Middle Tennessee her whole life. In January 2024 she had no idea what she wanted to do, only that it had to involve art. Then she learned about sign painting, said yes to a workshop in California, and fell in love with everything about it.
Since then she has practiced a lot, and businesses across Middle Tennessee have taken a chance and hired her: storefronts, holiday windows, murals, trucks and a 1951 Plymouth. Her business is to make your business stand out.

The Sign Shed
Out of the bedroom.
After finishing an 8 foot sign in her bedroom in the middle of February, she knew something had to change. The Sign Shed was over a year in the making: custom built with lots of windows, then insulation, electricity, AC, floors, walls and a wood panel ceiling, with help from her parents, especially her dad.
Inside: thrifted pieces she loves, and her pride and joy, an 8 by 4 foot metal easel.
Outside the shed
She loves being outdoors, camping and fishing. And most importantly, she is a Christian, and prays that everything she does reflects that.
