About

Tara Rook grew up outside of Albany, New York and spent her youth exploring meditation and the arts. Her life has been a beautiful journey of producing music, creating artwork, starting a shop, traveling around the world, living in Maine, and becoming a guide for spirituality. She is now a multidisciplinary artist living in Brooklyn, New York specializing in pen illustrations, graphic design, producing electronic music, and DJing under the moniker Just Milk. In addition to being an artist she is also an active energy worker and meditation and movement teacher, guiding others to become present and to feel safe in their body, mind, and heart.

Mission & Vision

Tara currently owns and operates Tara Rook Studios, LLC, established in 2022.

The studio’s mission is to explore the arts for guidance and is home to her role as an intuitive meditation guide, a visual artist, Just Milk, the art shop, and offering unique classes and workshops integrating the arts and meditation.

Her art is curated and created by illustrating themes of nature, anatomy and physiology, spirituality, flora and fauna, and her love of traveling to distant places. Her pieces emanate a positive, loving and healing quality.

Select art prints are available at the shop.

For music, she produces organic synth sounds with beats and vocals to create accessible, yet meaningful, tracks through Just Milk.

Her vision is to continue developing both a physical and virtual center for creative wellness, helping others find peace and alignment by interlacing art, music, movement, and meditation.

Meditation

As a Buddhist and devoted meditation practitioner with a blooming heart of compassion, Tara is dedicated to helping others form their own practice of awakening, self realization, and self liberation through mindful based practices. Growing up in the Shambhala Buddhist tradition helped form her daily practice of meditation and build empathy and compassion for all living beings.  She enjoys learning about various traditions, philosophies, and other spiritualities.  

Any feedback on her work is greatly appreciated and can be provided here.
