Tara is an award winning artist, showing her work locally and in the tri state area for over 20 years. Her paintings are included in many private and corporate collections across the country and internationally. Nature and its beauty have been the inspiration for her work for many years.
“I am fascinated by the sensuousness of Light. To witness the morning light, the filtered light through the trees and the soft haze of a fog. To capture nature’s essence and communicate it with my painting. To consciously avoid elaboration, rather leave a soft mark that allows the viewer to fill in the rest…the way the fog slowly lifts on a misty morning.”
