Digital ghost and present demons

Tara (She/they) is a queer artist and painter working in Minneapolis.
Their work serves as a visual misremembering; the backgrounds often abstract behind a more focused and detailed subject. The colorful paintings celebrate, and mourn bygone nostalgic comforts, often referencing the technology and video games they would play as a child.
She's most inspired by scenes and subjects that are playful, while still leaving room for more anxious interpretations. In these layered narratives, She explores nostalgia, identity through play, the deterioration of memory, and why we cherish refuge in the ruins.
