Tara Catalano

Emotionally charged, Tara Catalano uses the forgiving characteristics of acrylics to paint intuitively and to apply a unique layering process. Raw brushstrokes and rich texture are layered to create mystery and depth. Bold use of colors including red, turquoise and Earth tones spring from the canvas atoning viewers toward an inner reverie. Inspired by her innate expression, emotional landscapes and atmospheric blocks of color have become signatures of Tara’s contemporary style.

To the artist, the creative process is an act of alchemy connected to a journey of self reflection, transformation and empowerment. A journey that honors the present moment while looking forward to manifesting one's true potential. Horizons have become a symbol of this journey which reveal themselves conceptually and artistically in Tara's compositions. Just like where the Earth meets the sky, the subtle lines or breaks in each painting’s design are symbols of a journey toward the artist's sacred place where flesh meets spirit, where the present meets the future and where visions meet their destiny.

Tara holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Fine Art from Arizona State University where she studied the technical fundamentals of painting and drawing. Years later, she discovered the healing potential of the creative process when painting became her catalyst in rising above dark and heavy moments. The energy of the artist’s internal transcendence unfolds in her collections.
