"I have an interested in nature and environmental issues, so the topic of the poem "Pollution," drew me in. The parts about trash in the ocean and on the floor reminded me of all the trash I see on the ground every day in the neighborhood. Tamara wanted to highlight the pervasiveness of trash in our everyday lives by using it as an art material."
Tamara holds a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts from Albion College as well as several non-art-related degrees. She has always found nature in general and animals, in particular, to be restorative and inspirational. Tamara's current work concentrates primarily on torn paper collages, oil painting, and 3D mixed media pieces. Through her process, the ephemeral becomes permanent; the worthless becomes valuable.
