Tammy’s work speaks of noticing detail, slowing down and embracing the process of brushes to canvas.
The notion of “slow” is carried throughout her work, relayed in the fine features of her birds or the soft layering of her clouds. Her work is a subtle nod to the natural world we live in and the creatures it inhabits.
Inside her cozy studio, Tammy works in acrylic and oil on canvas. As a Canadian contemporary realist painter her creations range from landscapes with cloud-filled skies to animals. With a strong background in illustration, each piece has its own personality or mood, often presenting a light hearted interpretation of her subject matter.
Her work is recognized by the Ontario Arts Council, with collectors found across Canada, the United States, Europe, and Australia. She has exhibited in various established exhibitions and galleries throughout her career.
