Tara Gamel knew she would be an artist from a very young age. Growing up in Colorado, she first began drawing the wildlife and mountain scenes that surrounded her. Her father who is a wildlife artist, was her inspiration. During her high school years, she was rarely seen without her sketch book. She was active in art clubs, events, and even sold her first painting before she graduated from high school. She quickly grew fond of learning new techniques and styles of painting that kept her wanting to create more. She began doing commissioned watercolor portraits and then moved on to doing acrylic and oil pieces for galleries.
Tara was also intrigued by graphic design elements. She tried to find ways to integrate the clean crisp lines of graphic design with the loose free style of painting she enjoyed. Tara was able to bring her art into the print market where she was able to produce a large variety of work with a wide range of color and style. She also continued to sell works in gallery's throughout the United States and Canada.
Now Tara has a unique style that incorporates texture, color, and layers that draw you into her paintings. She enjoys working on each layer as if each one was an individual painting. Tara tries to bring her vision and inspiration in life in each piece she creates. Music and teaching are also a passion in her life that she is able to enjoy with her husband and children. Tara finds that song writing is like composing the layers of an abstract. She celebrates life with the inner song that is heard both in her music and her fine art.
