Tara was a fascinating visitor to have because she was so willing to explain her process and what she intended behind some of her pieces. Often times when I hear artists talk about their work, they are unwilling to share what they were thinking about as they made their piece of art. While she did say a few times that it is up to the audience to determine what it means to them, she still explained her reasoning behind each object in the paintings. This was much more interesting than just looking at artwork and creating a meaning behind each aspect because in this instance we were able to understand the process and see exactly what goes into each piece.

The thing I found most interesting about her style is that she never plans out her pieces, but instead does whatever comes to her at the moment. I find that very fascinating because you could have the same ideas one day after the next but come up with something entirely different each day. It is almost like improvisation on stage, while the plot will stay the same, the smaller details will be changed, so it is different each time. Overall, I really enjoyed Tara’s visit and the insights into the mind of an artist.
