ABOUT

My name is Tara Carr and I am a homegrown Austin artist. I have been painting for a little over ten years in the acrylic medium. Prior to taking on the challenge of being a working artist I was an after-school art instructor for The Children’s Courtyard. All of my pieces begin impulsively and in haste. Most of them will ultimately take weeks to finish depending on how they evolve, but a select few come from a whim of inspiration over one evening. I paint until each layer works together harmoniously, creating the perfect combination of color, composition, movement and visual impact. My love for color plays a big part in what inspires me to paint abstractly. Through the use of color and developed techniques of abstract painting- my purpose is to create pieces that evoke emotion and fill spaces with energy.
