Tamara went to Richmond Art college in England in the 1980‘s where she studies Graphic Techniques. Her father was a very successful Graphic Designer and as you can see in Tamara’s work she has a facination for shapes and depth.

Tamara produced many sketches and acrylic painting’s in the nineties but took a break from painting when she became a mum. She has now moved into working with oil’s and produced nine paintings in 2015. Her signature eye ball can be seen as far back as her doodles as a six year old. She has no idea why!
