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

There is no words for such a loss. I wish Brigitte the greatest force in the world and all the peace she can get in this so painfull time that she will has to cross. My deepest condolences. Your image, is to me like a HUGE and deep diving through the immensity of pain There is light in the bottom shining for her, though! This is an intense dedication, Tara.

Everything I know about Jeff tells me he enjoyed life and had an easygoing relationship with his mother. Its hard to find the words but yours are simple and powerful. I just wish he hadn't smoked.

Mark (above) apparently had some correspondence with Jeff, and it's wonderful to hear a little about him from someone who knew him. He spoke of Jeff in some other galleries too. And I agree with Ana that your image is a dive through the soul, with pain yet leading to light. It's a beautiful image of water with rain drops, and somehow you made it look like jewels, which is so meaningful for Jeff. You wrote a beautiful message, direct from your heart...I know you go back in Brigitte's life a lot longer than I do, so this has special meaning. I'm so sorry for her loss. And Brigitte, if you're reading this, our deepest wishes are with you. As Tara says, your son is an irreplaceable treasure, and I hope his light is with you always. Much blessing to you.

This is so beautiful, Tara! The soothing and wavering colors are so relaxing and calming. Perfect for this sad time in her life. Very thoughtful and beautiful. My thoughts and prayers are with her in this difficult and painful time.

A very beautiful tribute for Jeff Tara, it is such a sad time as he was still young and had a lot of potential to create with his great sense of humor. I hope you are keeping well Tara, and thank you for your comment on my posting. I'm living quietly these days. :) :)

Dear Tara, what an amazing tribute for my much loved son Jeff, it is indeed just what he would have loved to see, he would have approved of it, no doubt ! you didn't get to know him, but you had picked up some sort of vibes, from one of his favoured elements, the water [!] - namely surfing and he also liked diving underwater mainly in our swimming-pool, this must have been some sort of telepathy by you, showing here the element he liked so much... and what a beautiful and triumphant dedication, if only he could see it... it's so cool, calming and gentle, just like Jeff was to me and will always be remembered.
By the end of last year [2016] he had finished [after 3 years] his 'Long Distance Diploma for Digital & Interactive Games' as a game developer, 3D artist and animator. I was so proud of him and now [?] nothing, I do miss him very much and as you can well imagine ? [he was my only child] by simply as me being the Mother, you seem to understand my pain, having lost someone so dear forever.
Apologies to you my dear friend; first of all for the delay not to do something sooner and to acknowledge this with a comment, I had noticed your dedication and it was more often on my mind, than not, but I was [and still I am] simply in shock and still feeling numb - by having paid so little attention to you and your dedication for him. What more can I say ? and everything else that has been said by the other artists leaving touching comments, I am deeply moved by your kindness towards him and me, through your art, here at the Renderosity Galleries. I am astounded by this beautiful little community, we are sharing here, I hope I am forgiven ~ THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH TARA! ~ from the bottom of my heart.
