Hello!  I'm Tara Richardson, a professional portrait artist and I love my job! I have been drawing as long as I can remember.

My passion is to capture the expression, the personality and the soul of my models and I work everyday to increase my knowledge and art abilities. I have been painting portraits for the last 25 + years.

I started off as a traditonal oil painter and moved to digital painting & digital sculpting for many years. I have fallen completely head over heals in love with pastels lately. 

I paint all kind of portraits but I fell in love painting children & pets the most. I also enjoy paintng still-life - landscapes & seascapes.  I rarely have time to paint for myself I'm much too busy painting commissions pieces.
