News from the Knoll
Spring is now summer, and I find myself balancing time in the garden with time at the easle. Time spent at the coast with time cooking from the garden. Time traveling balanced with stillness at home where I find most of my inspiration…the plants, the clouds, the light up here on the knoll. Waves and water have me right now. Having grown up in Lunada Bay, CA in the town of Palos Verdes, we literally grew up on the beach. I travel “home” often, and spend time up and down the WA, OR and CA coasts.
TARA WILL RETURNS OCT 2024!
We are delighted to welcome Tara back to the studio! Tara works in soft pastels, painting quickly to capture the essence of her subject using bold colors and strong marks. In 2022, she achieved her Eminent Pastellist Status with the International Association of Pastel Societies (IAPS). Tara's work is in both public and private collections around the world including the Mall in London. Her work has been featured in multiple languages in publications such as Southwest Art, Pastel Journal, and Plein Air Magazine. Most recently, Tara’s work was profiled at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. She resides in Maryland with her husband and four children.
