Judge
Tara works in pastel, painting quickly, trying to capture the essence of the subject using bold colors and strong marks. She achieved her Eminent Pastelist Status with the International Association of Pastel Societies in 2022. She resides in Maryland with her husband and four children.
“I create work that focuses on capturing the essence of the subject. I enjoy a wide range of subjects, but mostly focus on the landscape, for my love of being outside. I was told by a mentor once, that the act of painting is a transfer of energy. We try to reflect that as best we can to a viewer so they can participate in an age old visual conversation. It is my goal that you leave our time together feeling energized and inspired to continue your journey.”
