Statement
There are two things
that I love most in the world - children and animals.
Both are very frank and open-minded, and that's what
I love most in them. And animals can't talk so the
only way they express themselves is through emotions!
I am a very emotional person myself and I want to
understand the emotions of animals from the expression
of their faces (and tails :)). I want to depict these
emotions in a unique and non-standard way, and so
I paint dogs that can fly or cows that can dance
like a person. My folk art paintings are a world
of fairy tales. I hope you can feel and see this
world too!
Another area that I am interested in is contemporary
art. I made my first contemporary paintings when
I was redesigning my living room and needed to add
some color to it. So I relate it to interior design
and home decor, and when painting I often think about
how it would fit the design of a room, what wall
colors and what furniture it will match etc. I think
that the main part of creating a contemporary painting
is the choice of color. I like to use red and black
colors because they are strong colors. I like green
too because it is so natural and I like blue since
it is the color of the sky. But I like neutral colors
too. I seek to find unifying themes in diversity
of colors in the same way as I strive to find unifying
principles in the diversity of life. You can do many
good different things and still be the same person.
Similarly, a variety of colors can make a good painting.
In 2006 I exhibited my work in Madison, Platteville,
West Bend, WI, participated in several competition
shows at EBSQ where some of my works got Patrons'
Choice and Patrons' Mention awards. In 2006 one of
my paintings received a State Exhibit Award (WI Regional
Art Program from University of Wisconsin-Madison).
I have also been selling my works online, and now
have my works represented in several states throughout
the US (WI, WA, CA, CT, TN, TX, PA, IA, CO, NY, PA,
MA, MO, MI, OR, AR, ..) as well as in Canada, France,
Germany, Russia and Ukraine.
This year I will be participating in Madison Area
Open Art Studios (October 7-9) and have an exhibition
at the gallery in UW Hospital (also in October).
Next March I will have an exhibition at the Whole
Foods gallery. I will be happy to see you there.
Thank you,
Tamara
