Tara McGuinness

"Artist I spent two years studying in the north west institute in derry experimenting in fine art, lifedrawing, textiles and sclupture… but finally majored in jewellery design and completed with a distinction in that :) Over the past year i have got back into painting with acrylics on canvas and ink and pen drawings… creating depictions of surf art in my own style… using bright colours and then blocking them out using heavy black lines and intercepting half circles, to create an almost modern celtic design. I also have an interest in black ink drawings… using lines,triangles, half circles and blocks to create detail in these designs. i love creating new charachters and creatures using black pen and ink... bringing them alive on page with the use of blackening and shading in areas :)"
