My name is Tara, I'm a Dutch Kiwi, having spent my childhood in The Netherlands and the last 20-odd years in beautiful Aotearoa (New Zealand). I'm a visual artist, a wife and mother, a singer and a songwriter. I love to create fine art portraits and fantasy fine art images full of whimsy and magic. I also have a great love for photography, with macro photography (extreme close up images, especially of water and plant life) holding a special place in my heart.

I am entirely self-taught and self-represented. My music is currently not available online but this is in the pipe line, so watch this space! :) If you like my fine art composites and would like me to do a unique portrait or fantasy composite of you or a loved one in my particular style, please contact me. :)

Thank you for looking at my portfolio, I hope you find some things you like! :)

My first solo exhibition took place at the hugely succesful Salsa Divas event held February 27-29, 2010 in Wellington, NZ. It was an incredibly exciting event to be a part of and of course exhibiting my work was thrilling! Currently, my work is on display at Rise Cafe on The Terrace in the Wellington CBD. Please check News And Events for upcoming exhibitions.
