Tara Kemp is a Northwest artist, known for her vivid, stylized oil paintings.

Through her paintings she reflects on her extraordinary life in Oregon—the people and places she encounters.

“My painting craft is something of an act of preservation and in a way an act of rebellion to bring to the viewers attention to the beauty of our endangered natural world.”

She paints in a Contemporary Impressionist style, what she calls “Abstract Realism”—realistic from a distance, yet abounding with abstract shapes and brush strokes upon closer inspection.

Tara is a member of The Oil Painters of America and The American Impressionist Society.
