Welcome to Tamara’s Web Site
Tamara, originally hails from Zimbabwe. She has exercised her considerable
creative talents, formerly as a stage and screen actress thereafter as a
theatrical designer. As a mature student, she studied textiles, with distinction
at Warwick, together with various masters of art in Yorkshire.
Influenced by her world wide experiences, she excels at capturing the
moment. With the fine use of oils and glazes, she creates mysterious tonal
values and surreal light in her paintings.
In addition to her own imaginative creations, Tamara receives numerous commissions from the UK,
USA and Southern Africa to create paintings that complement interior decor. These commissions have
drawn out her talent to bring the character and essence of the room into her art. To do so she employs
a wide variety of styles, materials, glazes and textures. She is not bound by preset routines.
All her work is original and she does not offer her work for print.
Tamara works from her Ilkley Studio as a professional artist. She exhibits at galleries in Yorkshire and
London. By invitation she demonstrates her unique style of paintings in these galleries.
