Tara Will

Tara attended Mount Saint Mary’s University in Maryland double majoring in Art and Philosophy. Tara enjoys painting quickly, trying to capture the essence of the subject using bold colors and strong marks. She works in pastels achieving her Eminent Pastellist Status with the International Association of Pastel Societies in 2022. She resides in Maryland with her husband and four children. 

I create work that focuses on capturing the essence of the subject. I enjoy a wide range of subjects, but mostly focus on the landscape, for my love of being outside. I was told by a mentor once, that the act of painting is a transfer of energy. We try to reflect that as best we can to a viewer so they can participate in an age old visual conversation. I am currently delving into a more confident voice in oils, as most of my work has been in pastels and I am very comfortable there. There is something refreshing about learning something new, and I never tire of it.
