About Me
Tamar's Biography
Born and raised in Downtown Toronto, Tamar moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1986, where she attended NSCAD University and completed her bachelor’s degree with a Major in Painting Studio and a Minor in Art History.
Her Medium
"I am inspired and motivated by pattern. I love the conversation between a mechanically produced pattern and the patterns that appear in nature, with infinite variation - such as ferns, snowflakes and the brushmarks made by an artist, on a canvas."
Inspiration
Two and a half decades of immersion in the back woods of Nova Scotia, while raising a family and dreaming about canvases as yet unborn, have been a factor for me in the development of my work... a place where science, nature, and art have co-mingled in my mind's eye to create an alchemy of materials and ideas.
My fondest hope is that these images will awaken and inspire something new and familiar in you...
