Researching culture, history, storytelling, and the grotesque has always been a constant influence to Tara Nix and her Fine Art and illustrative works. Tara was born and raised in Stirling, Ontario. It was here in the great outdoors that her passion, imagination, and creativity flourished and developed at a young age.  Previously before attending Sheridan Colleges for the Visual and Creative Arts program Tara also received her BA from the University of Ottawa with a major in General Arts and a Minor in Theory and History of Art.  Tara works in a variety of mediums including inks, acrylics, oils, pencil, charcoal, and photography. Known for her bold, raw, and dramatic style Tara is always pushing the constraints of her art through mixed media, experimentation, and evoking an empathetic and emotional reaction from her viewer. Themes of eyes, mouths, money, and culture illustrate personal experiences of current human conditioning. Following graduation Tara wants to launch her own career as a Fine Art and work in museums and galleries
