I am Tabitha Miller, Owner of Animated Art Balloon Decor and Entertainment. I love to help you celebrate life's BEST moments!

I started Animated Art since 2009. I love to spread JOY! This is my mission! In 2009, at the Audubon Zoo, I saw the incredible happiness that face painting brought to kids and immediately knew that was what I wanted to do. Two months later, I attended FABAIC (Face and Body Art International Convention), where I learned the art of face painting from the very best in the industry. A short time later, I also learned balloon twisting.

I continued to attend educational conventions, sharpening my craft. In 2016, she attended the World Balloon Convention in New Orleans, where I fell in love with balloon décor and its potential to offer more JOY to more people! In Jan of 2021, we moved our family to Walker, Louisiana, where I am so thankful to have a big workshop, two cargo vans, and several employees to serve our many clients. Her team loves to help bring their customers’ themes to life!

Baton Rouge's Award-Winning Balloon Artist!

At Animated Art Balloons, we transform celebrations into unforgettable experiences with vibrant balloon creations. 

I began in 2009 as a face painter, seeking further training by attending FABAIC (The Face and Body Art Convention, hosted by SillyFarm). 

In 2014, I started balloon twisting and attended The Florida Super Jam in Florida. 

In 2016, my passion for balloon art ignited after witnessing the incredible artistry at the World Balloon Convention in New Orleans. I was voted number 1 entertainer in Baton Rouge, Parents Magazine, 2018, 2019, and 2020.

In 2019, I won the Betallic scholarship to the Balloon Boss Summit, and GOOD THING! I was so overwhelmed with so much business, and didn’t know where to start. At Balloon Boss Summit, I learned about CRM’s, Website, Accounting, and so much more! Everything I was struggling with, Joette had an expert there to help guide me through that period of major growth. I went back home and applied as much as I could to my business

I returned again in 2020 to learn MORE! My business doubled in revenue that year, and I now had a new set of challenges. I needed to learn how to manage a team. I went to lunch with Dianna Gladdon and Holland Muscio that year. They encouraged me to look into moving my home based business to a location with more room. My husband and I had looked at a home on 10 acres, with a giant shop I can use for my business. We listed our home in December 2020, and closed on our new home on 10 acres with a shop in 2021! Now I had room to grow!

In 2021, I returned to the Balloon Boss Summit on staff! I was sponsored by AllProWebTools, and shared how having a CRM for my business really improved my organization, sales, and customer service. 

In 2022 - Tuftex sponsored me to be on staff at the Balloon Boss Summit, and we launched Tool time with Tab! I am passionate about tools and building sturdy structures. It was great for the attendees to see a female use tools. There was lots of class participation. This opportunity helped attendees become familiar with tools to 

In 2023 - Havin a Party sponsored me to be on staff again. I was able to do small groups with attendees and how to use tools. We also built a 12 foot Dolphin sculpture! We did a time study, and tracked the material costs to calculate how much to charge a client to cover the costs of material, labor and  also be profitable. 

2024 - Excited to be sponsored by Betallic (Sempertex) for this upcoming Balloon Boss Summit!
