Tara translates her lived experience onto the canvas in a quest for self-knowledge & understanding. She seeks to make peace with the complex and intertwined feelings of joy, memory, grief, beauty, doubt and wonder that make up a life.

Drawing from sources ranging from her environment, daily encounters, current events, pop culture, and memory, Tara captures and synthesizes these constant yet fleeting impressions in her abstract work.

Tara developed a deep reverence for nature, reflection, and her imagination during her childhood in Downeast Maine. She is a professional graphic designer and self-taught painter living in Wilmington, North Carolina.
