About Me
Hi! I'm Tara, an artist and maker based on the Bedfordshire/Hertfordshire border. I work from my fabulous home studio with my soon to be husband, our two jack russells and our Quaker parrots.
​​
​
I’m a bird nerd and a natural history buff, who believe it or not, worked as a zoo keeper for several years specializing in birds- everything from corvids, birds of prey to parrots… Birds play a huge role in my original artwork (can you tell?!) I worked my way up to a senior position but decided it was time for a change as the long hours were catching up with me.
I was declared 'Gifted and Talented' (how fancy) in Textiles and Art throughout school and college and have a Double Distinction in Art and Design. So it's safe to say I've been a creative with fibre, mixed media and everything in between my entire life.
​
Everything I make is made with a lot of love and care and I take great pride in the commissions and pieces I work on.
​
I also help to run Stotfold Art Group on a Thursdsay afternoon.

You can find my work at RHS Chelsea Flower Show every May and I exhibit yearly at the Stotfold Art Groups Summer Exhibition at Stotfold Watermill.

I'm always looking for new oppurtunities to exhibit my work, so do get in touch if you think my work may suit your gallery or exhibit space.
