This book is more a vehicle of love for the artist's community than anything. It is a marriage between the world of art appreciation and the world of the artist, with the result being a keepsake of the artist's works of art combined with a personal glimpse into their world.
Tamara talks about her self-training journey, how she initially taught herself art principals, concepts, and techniques, and then gained more knowledge under a mentor. She practiced her skills and then dove into the world of art shows to market her work.
This is a success story of what can be done when one puts their mind and hearts into their dreams and overcomes obstacles in their way. This is a childhood dream set aside for decades, but never forgotten, that is finally coming true.
As a single mother she put herself through college, and through hard work obtained a successful career in the Information Technology field. Readying herself for an early retirement, it is now Tamara's turn to live her dreams as an artist. As you will see within these pages Tamara puts her heart and soul into her artwork as she does with all aspects of her life.
