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

So beautiful and impressing, this is! It is so exciting I can look for hours at all these textures. It's like a painting with a very special mood. Congratulations on this artwork, Tara.

Ah, love that atmosphere and house in decay. Excellent textures and composition.

Could well be a tryptich - with a bit of imagination ;) on the other hand it is a haunting sight - somehow reminiscing of, dare I say it? - WWII Concentration camps - what a find! BB

Oh, this is wonderful, Tara! This would make an awesome thing to model if I ever figure out what the heck I'm doing with Hexagon and Blender.... What yummy textures, too! More, more....

Compelling symmetry that draws me in and makes me want to look into each of those darkened rooms. Yes, I can even hear the echos of long gone soldiers... This place was built to withstand heavy naval gunfire that would have come crashing back in if the batteries here ever had to fire against live enemy ships. I suspect that just the presence of the batteries here and at Casey and Flagler kept that from ever being attempted.

oh, just beautiful. Bleak, cracked, abandoned, and free to speak its secrets unimpeded. The textures are caught with great balance, and the postwork (or camera choices) leaves these looking soft & almost luminous...while the patterns seem almost painted-on by a fine abstract painter. A real wedding of abstract form with concrete wall-forms. A beautiful example of art inside a decayed abandoned presence. Beautiful work all around.
