Kuhnert, The Fourth Baron von Köb und von Urbenstedt and granddaughter of accomplished portrait artist Baroness Gertrude von Köb und Von Urbenstedt, A graduate of the prestigious Academy of Fine Art Dresden. "As an abstract artist, I consider myself a Symbolist Expressionist; I paint the world as I see it. When I was a child, painting with my father, he would say, 'Paint like you mean it!' " Tara had the unique opportunity to grow up in the artist enclave of Laguna Beach, California, spending afternoons painting alongside her father in his studio. "My father made sure I always traveled with sketchpads and pencils in hand, as I would often accompany him on location. I was destined to become an artist."
