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 ever solo exhibition is scheduled for February 2010 in Wellington, NZ. Here is a YouTube promo video for the expo (remember to right click and open in a new tab/window so you don't lose this page) :)
