For me, painting is a form of play and exploration. It’s a way to tap into my creative spirit and let my imagination run wild. When I’m painting, I’m fully present in the moment, focusing on the brush strokes and the colours on the canvas. It’s a meditative experience, a chance to tune out the noise of the world and connect with my innermost self.

My process is free-flowing and open-ended. I don’t pre-plan my colour palette or create a composition in advance, preferring to react intuitively to what’s already on the surface of the canvas. I think of it as ‘call and response’ in which each move leads to the next, and the next, and the one after that.

I’m constantly on the search for beautiful surprises in my work; those ‘magic moments’ that arise when two colours are placed just so, or the ghostly ‘hard edge’ of a buried shape is allowed to peek through, or a line leads the eye in a new direction.

Bright colours and organic shapes are signature elements of my paintings. I love exploring the interplay between different hues and experimenting with new colour combinations. Organic shapes offer a sense of freedom and spontaneity, allowing me to let my intuition guide me as I create.

Ultimately, painting is about embracing the joy of the creative process. It’s a reminder to stay curious, to stay open to new possibilities, and to always keep exploring.

What Collectors Are Saying…

I loved it even more when I saw it in person. I had been watching the development of the painting on Instagram…

It was a pleasure to connect with Tamara to purchase her painting. Everything with the purchase went smoothly and very professionally The painting is beautifully finished and looks stunning in my hallway.

The painting has arrived and I love it!

My granddaughter, lover of everything pink, will be jealous and will covet it.  I may occasionally have to loan it to her for a special day or two.

P.C.

Even nicer in person than what it showed online!

Other friends who have seen were impressed with its intricate and fine work you put into the painting… it was packed perfectly and arrived in excellent condition in the time you said it would be here.

Each piece brings me such joy each and every day

Giddy, peaceful, excited, tranquil. Holding each piece as I unpacked them was better than Christmas morning. They are so much more vibrant in person. Everything from color, composition, texture, mood, and lighting are spot on.
