Tania is a painter and illustrator based in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire.  She works from her studio at home and at Raw Umber Studios in Stroud. With a background in PR and having worked for the Crafts Council, Tania has a keen interest in contemporary painting and applied arts and enjoys strong ties with several local artists and organisations. She has set up the Stroud Artistic Community, a local networking and information sharing resource, as a way of further strengthening these ties within her local artistic community.

I enjoy working in a broad range of media and styles, but my inspiration and focus is always: the interplay between form and colour, an enjoyment of unexpected juxtapositions, and a personal and nostalgic expression of my emotional response to the subject. I have always resonated with Paul Klee’s assertion that “One eye sees, the other feels.” I aim for this balance in my work, including alla-prima still-lives, figurative painting, bronze figurative sculpture, portraits, and hand-drawn illustration.
