About

Hi there! I am a landscape artist based in Orange, NSW.

Having moved to Orange a few years ago, my young family and I enjoy exploring the central west which has inspired my more recent acrylic artworks.

Although my paintings are mostly based on places visited, I am led by the painting process, enjoying finely layering colours and discovering as new details emerge.

“When visiting these places, there is often a sense of being time-limited – a weekend getaway, a short bush walk, or needing to take children home. I am interested in capturing these ‘quick escapes’ on the canvas for longer-term enjoyment and reflection.

While there is beauty in the vastness of Australian landscapes, my current body of work is intentionally focussed and smaller in size. I want to create something that is somewhat understated, that draws you in further. Paintings that complement the smaller spaces – an image you can step into without getting lost in a big, wide landscape.”

Since returning to painting in 2020, Tara has exhibited across New South Wales and Queensland. She was a finalist in the Corner Store Gallery Inside This Box Art Prize (2026) and Mini Series Art Prize (2025). She was also a finalist in Solstice and Foot Square exhibitions at Aspire Gallery (2025) and has exhibited at the Brisbane Affordable Art Fair (2026). She has shown her work at the Peisley Street Gallery (2024–25) where her first solo exhibition will take place (19 October - 28 November 2026). Her background in communications and design informs her careful sense of balance and composition.
