ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Inspired by skies and clouds, Tara's work encourages viewers to reflect on the beauty constantly above. Tara would be the first to admit how easy it can be to get lost in day-to-day worries and anxieties, but she finds great comfort in reflecting on her surroundings. During her study of art history, Tara was struck by notions of the sublime and comforted by the use of art to remind us that we're each one small part of a much larger picture. Tara hopes that through her work viewers are inspired to look at their surroundings in a new way. By incorporating metal leaf into her work - usually covering the entire surface before applying paint - Tara mimics the depth and reflectiveness of the ever-changing sky. She lives and works in Maryland just outside of DC.

Many of us have memories of looking up and daydreaming as a child, and still look to the sky to find peace as adults. My paintings build on these shared associations by referencing the ever-changing, ever-present nature of our environment. My work is focused on skies and clouds because it's such an approachable and inclusive subject, and the continuous transformation of the sky also mirrors our constantly changing lives. I've been painting clouds over metal leaf for more than 15 years now, and was initially drawn to combining the two after studying Baroque and Buddhist art concurrently. Though very different in many ways, the two styles share the goal of instilling significance and esteem to their subject through ornamentation. I'm hopeful that all who see my work find resonance in it, and more fully appreciate the beauty within the familiar.
