Tara McCarthy is an artist from Kilgarvan co. kerry. A mother of five, and an art teacher, she draws much of her inspiration from children, and the beautiful landscape surrounding her in Kenmare, Kilgarvan, and Killarney.
A colourful mix of portraiture , landscapes and street scenes, Tara's acrylics successfully portray the personality of her subjects, as even grey streets are brought to life in vivid colour. Recently a love for inks and fineliner sketching has become prominent in her work and the narrative of a tiny ambitious Ant relates the mundane as well as the adventure of every day life in minimalist sketches. Tara also runs a children's painting class - " The canvas club", which is the home of many aspiring young artists. |
