Tamara's art is inspired by the raw beauty of the natural world, resonating cellular life and ethereal vibrancy. Her detailed paintings are woven together in earth tones, and she uses the malleability of watercolour to explore the connection between myth, dream, intuition, and reality. Tamara was born on Vancouver Island and obtained her BSc in Biology from the University of Victoria. She currently resides in Vancouver and enjoys both backcountry and world travel.
Tamara paints by hand using traditional watercolour paints in her unique contemporary style that layers pigment. She designs all her own artworks, drawing inspiration from her experiences in nature, and structuring her palette around vibrant earth tones. She begins in pencil and then paints in watercolour using tiny brushes. For display, she mounts her artworks on Canadian wood panel, adds uv-protective varnish, and finishes the pieces by sanding the edges, all by hand.
We respectfully acknowledge that the Filberg Festival takes place on the unceded traditional territory of the K'omoks First Nation, Gila 'kasla...Hay ch q'a'.
