James Thompson, who owns the gallery, said Starkey’s artwork was “very different” from what he has exhibited before.
He described her as “wonderful, creative [and] expressive”.
As he gets approached by “multiple artists per week”, Thompson said it “definitely helped” that Starkey was Ringo Starr’s granddaughter.
He added: “I am looking for artists with a name or previous career… that is really exciting to a collector.”
Thompson said he had initially given a “straight up” no when the exhibition was suggested.
“I then had a closer look at Tatia’s work and actually really liked it,” he continued.
Starkey, who has also been a musician, said it would be “nice to achieve something alone without a band around me or a family”.
“This feels very much a solo venture,” she added. “I’d like people to look at the art and take something away from it.”
The collection is showing at the Kaizen Fine Art gallery in Bagshot until 10 October, with an event celebrating her artwork set to take place on Thursday.
