My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
Â
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
Â
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
Â
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!Â

well tara, you're a dear one too. And your gift is just perfect for my birthday. When I first saw it (well, when I first saw it I had a hangover and was seeing flamingos & flying elephants, lol, but this broke through regardless!)---when I first saw it, I wondered if it was from chicago. Then I looked closely and saw that it wasn't. Then I thought: Seattle? Somewhere in Washington? (Well Denise knows it, so it must be near you. The "Salmon Waves"? I'll have to look those up.) Then I realized, what you did with it made it universal, it's this big collection of massive curly-cues, big swirls with wonderful almost painted shadows (I know they're real, but your postwork make them feel painted, like a huge ornamental painting). Your postwork really is fine: It feels like a massive acrylic piece, part of the "photo-realist" painters, except that it's a real photo & you've made it a painting & piece of imagination all at once. And it's a fantasy that I really love, since this last month has been a litttttttle hectic, lol, and waves of spring are wonderful omens of joy to come. For this & for your wonderful friendship, my greatest thanks Tara, thank you so much for making something for me & for remembering. It's big, bursting, really painterly, and beautiful. Thank you. It's a wonderful joyous birthday gift!
