Tara Leonard (a.k.a. "wholly tara") is a boutique
owner/designer, alumni of Plymouth State University, and NH native.
After graduating from PSU Tara moved to Boston, working on Newbury
Street and doing freelance photography and design work before choosing
to move back to NH to focus on her art.
Tara started her
first business "dream girl design" out of her studio apartment on
Langdon Street in Plymouth, NH selling her art to shops and galleries in
NYC, Boston, Portsmouth, NH, and all over the country. Having a
passion for fashion as well, and realizing that central NH did not have a
lot of fashion options for women, Tara decided in 2007 to open her own
boutique "Wholly Tara!" where she could combine her 2 loves: fashion
and art. Tara travels to NYC to bring a curated collection, focusing on
independent designers and made in the USA. Since opening, Wholly Tara
has been so busy Tara has had little time to make art but has recently
started designing again, creating one-of-a-kind upcycled clothing, boots
and jewelry under the name "wholly bespoke". Wholly Tara is located at
62 Main Street, Ashland, NH (next to the original Common Man)
